Design and Build: Embracing Green Practices
From Pre-Planning to Construction
The building sector contributes up to 40% of global energy-related carbon emissions, spanning construction, use, and deconstruction phases. With such a significant environmental footprint, it’s essential for the design and construction industry to take action.
What is Circularity?
Circularity focuses on using materials with their complete lifecycle in mind. This approach prioritizes reusing and recycling materials over relying on new resources, reducing waste and environmental strain.
Phases of Sustainable Development
Pre-Planning Phase
This stage often involves building owners, architects, and demolition teams. By planning ahead, teams can identify energy-saving opportunities and arrange for the removal of reusable materials. These items can be diverted from landfills, sent to local recyclers, and processed into new products.
Construction Phase
During construction, developers play a key role in green initiatives by choosing recycled materials and creating a plan for managing waste. Leftover construction materials and removed debris, if not handled responsibly, often end up in landfills—currently averaging 15% of materials wasted during this phase.
By taking just a few of these steps, the environmental impact of buildings can be significantly reduced. These actions help lower embodied carbon while protecting natural ecosystems.
Together, we can build a more sustainable future!
Easy Steps to Start Green Initiatives
Here’s how the design and build industries can reduce their carbon footprint:
-
Use raw materials from nearby suppliers to cut down on emissions linked to transportation.
-
Opt for materials that can be reused without compromising their efficiency. Examples include insulation, metals, plastics, and even paint.
-
Create buildings that are easy to adapt or expand without requiring full demolition. Flexible designs allow for adding extensions or repurposing spaces, reducing the need for wasteful deconstruction.
