Sustainable Buildings
The engineering and construction (E&C) industry is focusing on sustainable development and energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Globally, the built environment accounts for 39% of gross annual carbon emissions.1 This includes operational carbon — the ongoing carbon emissions from day-to-day use and embodied carbon — all the carbon emitted in producing, transporting, and disposing of construction materials.
The pursuit of net-zero emissions is placing pressure on E&C companies and suppliers to lower the carbon footprint of new and retrofit construction. According to a survey by Dodge Construction Network, over 90% of U.S. E&C companies receive requests from customers to lower the amount of embodied carbon used in construction projects.
