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
With traditional housing prices abhorrently high, William Samuels and his partner devised an unconventional, inspiring alternative
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.
Bluebeam and CIOB team up to help construction SMEs with digital transformation.
Construction for Change brings builders together on pro bono work on schools, hospitals and low-income housing around the world
By combining future-focused climate data with the latest building science, the industry can adapt the built environment for a planet of extremes
Greenwashing – the act of claiming environmental credentials for a product or project that are unjustified or outright untrue – has no place in the construction sector. Creating sustainable developments through investment in people, materials and delivery practices, plus supporting evidence to corroborate such claims, is the way forward.
Carbon tied up in building materials makes up the largest source of construction emissions—but difficulties quantifying it make reducing the industry’s carbon footprint tough
A zero-emission jobsite, with no fossil fuel consumption, means the construction industry has to create a zero-emission construction fleet. It is not as big a stretch as it initially sounds
The global capital of biking, Amsterdam, continues its emphasis on two-wheeled, manual transportation with a one-of-a-kind parking structure
At the Natural Materials Lab, Lola Ben Alon gains inspiration from early building environments to develop future materials that will decarbonize construction
What to do with waste from construction and demolition projects is a significant global problem. But the tides are shifting, and the market for C&D waste recycling is growing
