Too often, sustainability is considered only during building operations. However, decisions made during the design and construction phase can have a huge impact on a building’s environmental footprint. A recent focus on carbon emitted by materials and during construction has sent the real estate industry looking for innovative solutions. New materials and technologies, from mass timber and modular construction to the new Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) software tool are already being implemented by leading real estate developers. These tools help the real estate industry be more sustainable while also addressing traditional problems during construction, including labor costs, building time, and construction waste. Join this session to hear from companies that are pushing the envelope on sustainable development and construction and learn more about the business case for reducing carbon in development.
