2021年9月8日 · Buildings represent 39% of global greenhouse gas emissions, including 28% in operational emissions and 11% in building materials and construction. Global building floorspace is projected to double by 2060 and only 3% of investment in new construction is green and efficient, locking in high emissions for decades.

2021年2月22日 · Buildings are responsible for 40% of global energy consumption and 33% of greenhouse gas emissions. Ensuring new buildings are sustainable and energy-efficient will be key to our efforts to tackle climate change. Green buildings can also benefit employees, bottom lines and investors. Here's how.

2024年6月25日 · The building value chain is responsible for 37% of total carbon emissions globally, involving multiple harder-to-abate sectors and needs to accelerate green transition from now on.

2021年11月2日 · Buildings account for nearly 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions, 50% of the world’s energy consumption and 40% of raw materials. While existing building stock will require largescale retrofitting to meet net-zero carbon goals, we also need a higher sustainability bar for new buildings.

2024年6月18日 · Embodied carbon refers to greenhouse gas emissions produced in a building or infrastructure’s life cycle, including for manufacturing, maintenance and decommissioning. While the buildings and construction sector can determine carbon emissions from day-to-day operations, embodied carbon factors are often not measured and reported.

2021年10月26日 · Collective action must be taken to accelerate the decarbonization of buildings, which contribute 38% of all energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Green Building Principles: The Action Plan for Net-Zero Carbon Buildings offers a set of 10 principles to help companies deliver net zero carbon buildings and meet key climate commitments.

With buildings contributing 38% of all energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, business leaders have a critical role to play in lowering their global real estate emissions

2025年2月3日 · This led to a greenhouse gas intensity of 1.1 tCO2/t, significantly lower than the industry average of 5.8 tCO2/t. Contributing 25% of North America's sales of the 3105 alloy for the building and construction market, this accomplishment supports Novelis’ goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. They implemented three key solutions:
