Climate, Carbon and the Built Environment<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Impact of Buildings on Carbon Emissions<\/h3>\n

Globally, the building and construction sectors account for nearly 40% of global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in constructing and operating buildings (including the impacts of upstream power generation).1<\/sup>\u00a0 Current building codes address operating energy but do not typically address the impacts of embodied carbon in building materials and products. However, more than half of all GHG emissions are related to materials management (including material extraction and manufacturing) when aggregated across industrial sectors.2<\/sup> As building operations become more ef\ufb01cient, these embodied impacts related to producing building materials become increasingly signi\ufb01cant.<\/p>\n

    The Growing Significance of Embodied Carbon<\/h3>\n

    Between now and 2060 the world\u2019s population will be doubling the amount of building floor-space, equivalent to building an entire New York City every month for 40 years. Much of the carbon footprint of these new buildings will take the form of embodied carbon \u2014 the emissions associated with building material manufacturing and construction.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Unlike operational carbon emissions, which can be reduced over time with building energy efficiency renovations and the use of renewable energy, embodied carbon emissions have irreversibly entered the atmosphere as soon as a building is built.<\/p>\n
