From energy performance and use - to material understanding and the Reduction Roadmap

Today's building industry fails to align with the principles of sustainability, despite it holds a significant environmental responsibility. Since the oil crisis in 1973, the Western world has predominantly focused on reducing building's energy consumption. However, present day approach to designing and constructing buildings accommodates a variety of technical solutions alongside a high demand for spatial and comfort-related needs. This has not only led to overconsumption of materials but also in substantial negative impact on the environment.<br/>The notion that it is possible to maintain current living standards while simultaneously constructing a way out of the climate crisis is fundamentally a falsum. There is a pressing need to shift focus towards construction practices that prioritize the use of materials with low carbon footprints throughout the entire value chain.
