Architecture 2030 ’s mission is to rapidly transform the built environment from a major emitter of greenhouse gases to a central source of solutions to the climate crisis. This means achieving net zero across both operational emissions from using buildings and embodied emissions from constructing and maintaining them.

To meet the ambitious climate targets ahead, designers, developers, and construction firms need common standards. Reporting methodologies can vary based on the unit of measurement, estimated project life span, or how a project’s area is defined. By Timothy A. Image courtesy Climate Positive Design.

If we want to truly want to create carbon neutral buildings by 2030, we will see that the questions about materials are just as important as the energy usage after completion of a building. On our journey to more environmentally friendly buildings and the 2030 goals, it is "5 minutes before twelve". What is their carbon footprint?

Architecture 2030 estimates that the embodied carbon of materials will account for 72 percent of emissions associated with new construction between now and 2030. One approach is the reuse and recycling of construction materials. Photo by Yann Monel. Photo by Ilana Cohen.

Renovation is not only a new creative frontier for architects, it is the future of architecture: according to Deloitte estimates, up to 90 percent of future development will involve re-designing existing buildings. At this point, adaptive reuse is mainstream, and the carbon-saving benefits are well-known (and widely touted).

The GCCA’s stated goal of cutting emissions by one quarter in the next decade is projected based on existing technologies; however, the journey to carbon neutrality between 2030 and 2050 looks to carbon capture and storage — technologies that are very much in the development stage at present. Government regulations also deter this.

According to the EPA , an estimated nine million tons of furniture were sent to landfills in 2018. While a specific material might be biodegradable or recyclable, its extraction might require carbon-intensive road construction—a process that might step beyond the boundary of the final product’s lifecycle analysis.
