TG Escapes Eco-Buildings’ Post

The #BuildingsBreakthrough, announced at COP28 in December 2023, aims to establish low-emission, climate-resilient buildings as the new norm by 2030. Times are changing and the demand for sustainable homes, not just commercial buildings, has reached a tipping point in the construction industry. 🏡 Learn more about what defines eco-friendly houses 👉 https://lnkd.in/dAVviD8M

🌍💚🏠 Dive into the game-changing world of net-zero carbon requirements in building! Learn how these standards are reshaping sustainable construction and paving the way for a greener future.

"Get it Right First Time to meet Net Zero", says Cowan Architects. We have had a fantastic response to this article, co-written by Cowan Architects directors Brendan Geraghty and Simon Spiteri RIBA. The second in a three-part series, "Retrofitting for Net Zero: Get it Right First Time" explores strategies for achieving carbon compliance and energy efficiency in construction, with a focus on retrofit.

Wrote a bit on how the construction industry is falling behind badly on cutting embodied carbon emissions. Also looked at what the next steps are and how developers/architects/specifiers etc all need to consider every material they're using and reassess it with embodied emissions in mind. It's also a big opportunity to improve what we're building now and in the future. With reference to UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) data, and quoting Richard Dowdall in The Developer and Festival of Place. #embodiedcarbon #sustainablearchitecture #sustainableconstruction #buildingperformance

Achieving net zero targets requires that all new constructions and 20% of existing building stock are zero-carbon-ready by 2030. This means significant and immediate action is needed across the construction and real estate sectors. To meet these goals, innovative building management systems and sustainable practices must become standard. Advancements in technology now make it possible to enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprints dramatically. Understanding the impact and necessity of these targets is essential for all stakeholders in the industry. #NetZeroTargets #SustainableConstruction #ClimateAction

❓ Ever wondered how we can significantly reduce carbon emissions in construction? 🌍 According to the World Green Building Council, one of the ways to achieve maximum embodied carbon reduction is through building material selection. 💡 What innovative materials have you used recently? #FPConstruction #FullSulate #constructionindustry #netzero #sustainableconstruction #greenbuilding #carbonreduction

Sunday Highlights: Decarbonizing the construction industry is essential for reducing global carbon emissions, which account for nearly 40% of the total. By adopting low-carbon materials and energy-efficient solutions, innovation can be fostered and research and development in sustainable construction practices can be advanced. #Sustainability #Construction #Decarbonization #GreenBuilding
