One of the biggest burdens is the amount of energy required to construct buildings.
According to some studies, buildings account for approximately 40% of all CO2 emissions in the US and are responsible for 18% of total emissions globally. Construction is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. The aim is not only to reduce damage but to create buildings that have a positive impact on the environment. It’s also known as sustainable construction.
Green construction aims to eliminate or reduce negative environmental effects on the design, construction and operation phase.
