Understanding your project’s carbon footprint, which measures the total greenhouse gas emissions from construction activities, is crucial.
This calculation impacts the environment and the project’s long-term viability and compliance with increasingly stringent global regulations.
The climate’s chaotic disposition reveals oversights commercial construction workforces have made, but these are fixable with advances in fire-resistant building materials and resilient envelopes.
Among myriad strategies to help make buildings healthier for occupants, one of the most potent ways to improve their psychological and physiological responses to a built space is to appeal to our hardwired affinity for the natural environment.
Early planning ensures compliance with ever-stricter environmental regulations. It allows time for devising the most efficient building processes, reduces waste generation and minimizes a project’s overall carbon footprint.
Post-construction metrics are imperative to continue improving operations as new technology emerges. With each innovation, you can lower a building’s carbon footprint and support the environment.
