The project showcases low carbon, sustainable building with a highly ecological specification, in a design that achieves two major sustainability certifications (Passivhaus standard and BREEAM Outstanding). Future climate data was generated and used to simulate various design scenarios to ensure the best, most robust long-term solution.
Governments and companies around the world must step up efforts to make building and construction greener, according to a new UN report. “Green-building” is more than just a good idea. Reducing carbon output from buildings and construction is essential if we’re going to meet the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to well ...
The NUS School of Design and Environment 4 (SDE4) is the first newly built, net zero energy building in Singapore and is the first building in South-East Asia to be awarded the Zero Energy Certification by the International Living Future Institute (ILFI). The six-level building features an innovative hybrid cooling system to effectively reduce ...
The World Economic Forum’s Transforming Energy Demand report, 2024, says it’s possible to reduce the energy intensity of buildings by 38%, which could help to cut global energy demand by 12%. Buildings have the potential to be 38% more energy-efficient Image: World Economic Forum. With the built environment responsible for nearly 40% of ...
Green Building Principles: The Action Plan for Net-Zero Carbon Buildings offers a set of 10 principles to help companies deliver net zero carbon buildings and meet key climate commitments. Developed with JLL, the Principles and Action Plan outlined in this document aim also offer implementation strategies to decarbonize buildings at a portfolio ...
Green by design The 60,500m² warehouse and office space is airtight with extra insulation. A photovoltaic system on the roof consisting of 11,620 solar panels generates more electricity than the building consumes, with excess power going into the grid, meaning it is both energy and CO2 neutral.
Towards Green Building Value Chains: China and Beyond, published in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG), identifies 11 strategic transition levers across the entire value chain of buildings. These levers, when combined, could unlock over 80% of the sector’s abatement potential and open a $1.8 trillion market opportunity, as per ...
The design of zero carbon buildings and communities is being driven by four major trends: decarbonization of the electric power grid; electrification of building space and water heating; efficiency improvements to reduce energy demand; and digitalization to provide needed flexibility in meeting the needs of building occupants and the energy grid.
The carbon-reducing impact of green building with mass timber goes beyond the sustainable forests that produce these products and the carbon they lock away. While concrete is essential in foundations, timber buildings are lighter so those foundations can be smaller. Mass-timber products are modular and can be produced in a factory, which means ...
The building value chain is responsible for 37% of total carbon emissions globally, involving multiple harder-to-abate sectors and needs to accelerate green transition from now on. The green transition of building value chain can unlock $1.8 trillion in market opportunities globally according to World Economic Forum and Boston Consulting Group ...
