Using Low-Carbon Concrete in Your Next Project

There are now viable low-carbon concrete options for almost all end uses as well as strategies that can work to reduce a building’s overall concrete carbon footprint. Can you get these into your next job? This course explores low-carbon concrete opportunities that currently exist as well as some that are on the horizon.

Low Carbon Materials

Low carbon materials are those that have a lower embodied carbon footprint than traditional materials. This means that they require less energy and resources to produce, and generate fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Low carbon materials can include anything from recycled plastics to bamboo and wool insulation.

Accelerating Building Decarbonization: Where Are We & How Will We Reach Our Goals?

Decarbonization and buildings are at the forefront of everyone’s minds as we approach new government initiatives to fight climate change. In this article, we break down the new initiatives announced in the Better Buildings Summit and what they mean for our future. Plus, we discuss what the public and private sectors are already working hard on within the green building space.

Capturing Carbon From The Air Might Solve The Climate Crisis

Direct air capture, or DAC, is a technology that allows us to capture CO2 from the air and turn it into products or fuel - or, store it underground and effectively reverse climate change. No other option has been able to provide the potential to actually remove carbon, making DAC a unique and exciting option. Yet we may run into familiar issues - we need more financial support to scale DAC to a viable solution. Read on to find out how DAC works, what the benefits and drawbacks are, and where it stands today.

The Urgency of Embodied Carbon and What You Can Do About It

Building materials emit massive amounts of carbon long before the lights go on. In this course, BuildingGreen takes an analytical look at the greenhouse gases that are emitted in the process of constructing our buildings in the first place—the embodied carbon.
