The Challenges and Rewards of Net-Zero Energy Construction

Buildings are to blame, in part, for today’s staggering rates of global warming. As they constitute a whopping 39 percent of the worldwide carbon emissions, it’s not possible to stop the catastrophic temperature rise without making buildings greener. Luckily, the proliferation of net-zero energy construction is doing exactly that, turning this environmental liability into an opportunity.

Construction is growing so fast that over the next 40 years, the world will add 230 billion square meters of new construction, the equivalent of adding another Paris every week. This rapid development makes implementing and scaling net-zero construction more crucial than ever.

Hence, it’s no shock that the global net-zero energy building industry earned $896.6 million in revenue in 2018 alone. These figures might hit $2.1 billion by 2024 thanks to growing demands to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increasing requirements for net-zero energy construction of new buildings. #NetZero #Sustainability #dormakabablog
