Buildings and how we construct them have the ability to play a substantial role in mitigating the emission of greenhouse gases and pollution locally, and around the world. The building sector consumes large portions of our resources and energy and as a result, produce emissions that negatively impact the environment.
Buildings and how we construct them have the ability to play a substantial role in mitigating the emission of greenhouse gases and pollution locally, and around the world. The building sector consumes large portions of our resources and energy and as a result, produce emissions that negatively impact the environment. The design, construction, operation, and demolition phases of a buildings life all have implications and consequences that must be thoughtfully planned and put into action. Traditional building and construction techniques have slowly given way to more sustainable approaches the optimize our resources and energy while creating healthier environments for people to live.
“Globally the building and construction sector accounts for approximately 40% of total energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions (Lok, 2016)”
