The Smart Building Lifecycle: Delivering Sustainability ThroughoutThe UK’s ambition is to reach net zero by 2050. By then, 80% of buildings that will exist are already built today. Buildings are responsible for 40% of global carbon emissions, of which 70% are from building operations and 30% from the original construction. If we are to achieve net zero targets, we must look to reduce both embodied and operational carbon emissions, through decarbonising our existing building stock and rethinking the way we design and construct new.
