The Carbon Problem
The built environment is responsible for 40 percent of all carbon emissions worldwide. By eliminating gas-producing appliances and equipment, and converting our energy uses to renewable, along with high-performing, energy-efficient construction, we can significantly reduce the operational carbon in the built environment, but we will still have the embodied carbon impact from the manufacturing, transportation, and implementation of building materials and components. The building material with the greatest carbon impact is concrete. Concrete accounts for 8-12 percent of all the man-made greenhouse gases due to the massive amount of concrete being used worldwide today.
