🤝Driving Down Whole-Life Carbon Emissions🎯 As owners and investors face mounting pressure to make new projects compliant with modern environmental standards, the concept of “whole-life” carbon has become a focus of increased interest. The model approximates the total emissions of a structure, both during construction and over its lifespan. A panel at the 2024 Asia Pacific Summit in Tokyo took a hard look at the implications of this approach.

While the majority of emissions originate during the design and construction phases, operation and maintenance also significantly contribute to a building's total emissions over its lifecycle. That's why it's crucial to consider the whole life cycle carbon footprint of a building. Countries like India and China are increasingly moving towards renewable energy, but there is still a need for countries that rely heavily on oil-based energy to take decisive action in this direction.
