To avoid the worst effects of the climate crisis, we urgently need to reduce carbon emissions now. But that's not enough! This original article for SKINS by Drew Shula is a veritable manifesto on the why and how of climate action for all of us.
FreMarq engineers and fabricates high performing thermal fenestration products, curtain wall, fixed windows, window walls, vents and sunshades. Our primary focus is to reduce the energy consumption and carbon footprint of commercial buildings by improving the thermal efficiency of its envelope.
Embodied carbon in buildings is a key factor in building decarbonization and while it is generally small compared to operational carbon, the
In order to get to a carbon neutral building stock – which is e.g. required by the EU Carbon roadmap by 2050 – our efforts need to be smart and
Gensler architects Jessica Santonastaso and Alan Estabrook survey existing research on embodied carbon in exterior wall assemblies and the availability of product declarations for relevant materials.
Drawdown is an inspiring new effort to manage atmospheric carbon and the resulting climate impacts. This brief reveiw discusses the book, the movement, and the potential.
Welcome to this edition of the SKINS newsletter, which is all about carbon! As guest editor this month, I am representing FTI’s embodied carbon (EC) working group. This issue highlights several important topics relative to embodied and the trade-offs with operational carbon.
There is a growing awareness and interest in understanding the carbon footprint of material manufacturing, opening doors to new opportunities in facade design and manufacturing innovation. There are steps and decisions we can make today to help fight climate change.
The construction industry is one of the greatest sources of pollution, where 39% of global energy-related carbon emissions are attributed to
