Recent Issues of The Carbon Architect

Designing a high-performance building is a balance between embodied and operational carbon. Insulation is the key battle ground.

Carbon capture doesn't need to be expensive or complicated. Planting trees and other on-site planting is a great way to sequester carbon.

A significant amount of carbon in buildings comes from below grade structures like foundations and parking garages. We need to reduce these amounts as much as possible.

Electricity is a key tool we need to use to decarbonize construction and buildings. To do that we need to look at our grid and how our energy is produced. Countries need to focus on more renewable sources of electricity generation.

Operational carbon has received a large amount of the focus when it comes reduction measures. We cannot forget about upfront carbon which is also a significant contributor.
