Architects vs. Contractors vs. Owners: Who Can Most Impact Climate Change in the Built Environment?
The Climate Change Challenge: Taking Action in the Built Environment
As organizations and world leaders take action to combat the global climate crisis, more responsibility has been placed on the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry to reduce carbon emissions within the built environment. With nearly 40% of all carbon emissions coming from the building sector, the industry must answer the charge and make significant changes to incorporate sustainable practices into every project.
Architects, contractors, and owners all have a role to play in the climate emergency, but who can make the most impact to combat climate change and push the industry forward to achieve Architecture 2030 targets? In this e-book, we address key strategies each group can implement to make a solid impact and significantly reduce carbon emissions, while staying within budget and meeting project goals.
