Eco-Friendly Construction: Lowering Carbon Impact

The construction industry, along with its extensive supply chain, plays a significant role in the global environmental footprint, contributing heavily to carbon emissions—also known as greenhouse gasses—and the consumption of energy, water, and materials. Notably, common construction materials such as concrete and steel are among the top contributors to greenhouse gas emissions.

Known as “embodied carbon” these comprise about a third of the built environment’s substantial total carbon footprint.

Within the various sectors contributing to global greenhouse gas emissions, the building sector stands out with the most significant potential for substantial reductions. This realization underscores the urgent need for carbon offsetting programs worldwide, which can diminish greenhouse gas emissions, conserve precious energy resources, and foster better climate outcomes.

Here are some of the steps construction companies take to help the environment:

• Use green building materials:

  Adopting green buildings represents a proactive approach to mitigate the adverse effects on our natural surroundings.

• Use energy-efficient systems:

  Energy-efficient systems like solar panels and green roofs can help reduce your project’s energy consumption.

• Plan for water efficiency:

  Using water-efficient fixtures and systems can help reduce your project’s water consumption.

• Minimize waste:

  Practicing proper waste management, including recycling and composting, can help reduce your project’s.
