Newly built homes are increasingly energy efficient, but there is still a long way to go, especially when it comes to retrofitting the country’s existing housing stock.

Chris Gorse, professor of construction engineering and management at Loughborough University, talks about how construction can be more sustainable

More than half of the world’s population lives in cities, and they’re only going to get bigger. As pressure on infrastructure grows, planners are considering a more sustainable model.

Humans have been using the sun’s energy for millennia, but only now can industries like construction fully embrace the world’s most readily available, renewable and sustainable source of energy.

Construction companies are using technology to reduce their impact on the environment.

As the construction industry responds to climate change and calls to use more sustainable materials, timber is growing in importance.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) has become the buzz acronym for construction in recent years—and with good reason. Here’s how following an ESG framework helps firms reduce risk, deliver better outcomes and enhance reputation.

Southeast Asia is at risk of extreme weather events due to climate change. A partnership between Australia, South Korea, Japan and Singapore will leverage Australia’s wind and solar capacity through the construction of two major renewable energy projects.

The UK has a new prime minister who wants to shake up housing delivery by building more on green belt land. But this would be fiercely contested; is the answer to build more homes on brownfield sites?

The demand for housing in the UK is putting pressure on land, with the consequence that greenfield sites—those that have never been built on—are increasingly seen as a development opportunity.
