As the world embarks on a mission towards a net-zero environment, here are some terms that encompass net-zero architecture.
Net zero is an ideal state where the amount of greenhouse gases released into the Earth’s atmosphere is equal to the amount removed. Emission removal and reduction through decarbonization efforts are needed to reach net zero.
Net zero is a term used when talking about reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including CO₂ emissions. The term “net-zero emissions” refers to making sure that the same amount of greenhouse gases emitted are also removed from the atmosphere, making the net contribution of greenhouse gases ...
The British Jobs Bonus will incentivise clean energy developers to invest in jobs and supply chains in UK industrial heartlands and coastal communities. Accelerating to net zero Labour plans to accelerate decarbonisation across all sectors, including transport, buildings, industry, and finance while re...
“UN tells governments to ‘fast forward’ net zero targets”2 These are just a few of many headlines from 2023 so far that center around the concept of “net zero.” You may hear the phrase frequently in the context of climate change and global warming, but do you know the intricacies...
Net zero is the point at which greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere are balanced by an equivalent amount removed from the atmosphere.
Zero-waste platforms Zero-waste design isn’t simply about creating buildings and entire communities that encourage recycling. Whatever we do to design buildings that encourage recycling, if we are forced to continue purchasing products in plastic, glass, Styrofoam, and paper ...
The Architecture 2030 Challenge calls for new commercial buildings to be zero net energy by 2030, and this challenge has been widely adopted as a policy goal. At first blush, the concept of zero net energy seems simple. The concept is strong and compelling, but there are lots of significant...
With megafires and catastrophic floods happening at an alarming pace, learn how the design and build industry is working to achieve net-zero carbon.
The steel and cement industries are massive CO2emitters, each accounting for roughly seven percent of total global emissions, according to the IEA. “Greening” these heavy industries will be important to achieve net zero. Several emerging technologies, which are close derivatives of well-understood ...
