The country’s premier event dedicated to zero energy and zero carbon buildings, taking place October 27-29 in New York City, invites participants to attend in-person or virtually.
As the building design and construction industry continues to advance low-carbon solutions that tackle both operational and embodied carbon, a looming challenge remains: our national electrical grid still emits a lot carbon into the atmosphere.
Companies can decrease their environmental impacts by increasing the energy efficiency of construction and building maintenance. Reducing surface and atmospheric pollution can help America reach its carbon neutrality goal.
Building Enclosure’s Editor, Lindsay Lewis, sits down with Daniel Overbey, the Director of Sustainability for Browning Day, to discuss a hot topic as of late: embodied carbon.
With the increasing awareness of the embodied carbon impact of the built environment on global warming potential, a variety of tools and resources have emerged in the marketplace.
When it comes to operational energy efficiency, the building design and construction industry continuously raises the ceiling through myriad collective avenues including the increased stringency of volunteer rating systems, monitoring-based commissioning, verified zero energy buildings, and much more
It is time for building design professionals to track and report the embodied carbon of their projects.
Embodied carbon refers to the carbon dioxide emitted during the manufacture, transport, and construction of buildings materials, together with end-of-life emissions
ROCKWOOL receives independent approval for new decarbonization targets from the Science Based Targets initiative, the pursuit of which will further strengthen our position as a net carbon negative company.
