Passive house techniques are reshaping modern building and architecture by prioritizing both energy efficiency and comfort

Aging buildings are a big factor in climate change, emitting large quantities of carbon. To tackle this problem, efforts are underway to retrofit millions of properties with insulation and other energy-efficient technologies

Bamboo checks many of the boxes of an eco-friendly material, so some researchers are testing the material’s commercial viability in construction

Builders may have some big misconceptions when it comes to maintaining historical structures, and this guidebook aims to change that

As cities become larger, many are looking at innovative ways to mitigate climate change with sustainable infrastructure like ‘green corridors,’ which use trees and plants to cool urban districts and improve air quality

The Ontario-based employee-owned construction services company has taken several fascinating measures to drastically reduce its emissions by 2030

As sustainable practices redefine construction, innovations in materials like green concrete and renewable resources are driving a transformative shift toward greener buildings

A project at the University of Edinburgh aims to find out (from 2020)

A plethora of emerging technologies is helping the construction industry improve its sustainability outlook

In the quest for sustainable construction practices, Total Resource Use and Efficiency (TRUE) leads the charge in reshaping the industry’s approach to waste management

More demand for sustainable buildings, along with innovations in green technology and materials, will accelerate interest in the construction industry’s sustainable future

Traditional building products such as steel and concrete are construction’s ‘tried and tested’ materials, yet they come with a significant environmental cost. Can ‘hempcrete,’ a concrete-like product made from the hemp plant, help the industry elevate its sustainability efforts?

With the built environment such a prominent source of carbon emissions, it is vital that the industry recognizes the urgent need to ‘climate proof’ homes and other built assets and infrastructure.

By combining future-focused climate data with the latest building science, the industry can adapt the built environment for a planet of extremes

The ubiquitous material can help address the housing shortage and sustainability
