annually, while building materials and construction are responsible for an additional 11% annually.
It’s sorta hard to wrap one’s head around the immediacy of carbon reduction goals — in less than 9 years, these construction industry milestones for reducing carbon come due. By that time, contractors who are prepared to reduce carbon in multiple stages of the construction process will be well-positioned in an aggressive market. They’ll have a powerful competitive advantage.
What will it take for the construction industry to cut carbon? By streamlining the construction process and considering an entire building’s lifecycle — from embedded emissions in materials, building energy efficiency, and end-of-life or repurposing — the construction industry could achieve net-zero carbon by 2050.will pour into cities in the coming 30 years, and 60% of buildings required by 2050 have not been built yet.
that makes the construction industry more precise and efficient. The iterative process helps with building design refinement and overall profitability, creates predictability for clients, and reduces the commercialization risk for both investors and contractor.There’s help to achieve zero emissions goals for the construction industry.
