Trees are also a tremendous carbon sink and may contribute significantly to reducing the lifecycle carbon intensity of any site development. Better yet, we have the tools to quantify the carbon sequestration potential of trees.
Retrofitting and adaptive reuse of older buildings is often an ideal eco-friendly solution — bringing existing structures up to modern energy efficiency standards without the resource consumption of new construction.
The façade industry features many building materials that can be recycled and reused, many of which can take on an entirely new and different life in their second chapter.
With the emergence of environmental, social, and governance reporting, companies are working rigorously to identify, assess, and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
