Details

The global discourse on sustainability in real estate is progressing rapidly, with global construction accounts for almost 38% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Companies are under high pressure to establish carbon footprint reduction and elimination process as well as designing and constructing buildings in an environmentally friendly and energy-efficient way. Meeting the demand for new buildings through green construction will be a great stimulant for low-carbon economic growth and create skilled jobs in emerging markets for decades to come. New materials are more expensive, and will therefore demand a new pricing model. However, they can significantly reduce embodied carbon—in commercial buildings by as much as 70 percent by 2030 based on McKinsey report.
