On the other, UN-Habitat estimates that 3 billion people need adequate housing by 2030, with demand for 96,000 new homes every day (that's more than one per second), giving us a clear moral responsibility to build to improve people's lives. Mass timber has risen from this debate as the go-to material for more sustainable design.

But a Stanford study published in early 2022 estimated that the methane leaking from gas stoves in the U.S. The price of switching to electric was much smaller than Pires’s team expected: an overall cost increase of about 1 percent, he estimates. Burning natural gas in any setting is bad for the climate and bad for human health.

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. And, yet, hope remains.

This is an optimistic goal considering it requires a 45% drop in emissions by 2030 and net zero by 2050. According to Reuters and Honeywell’s report, The Growing Importance of Sustainability in Buildings , nine in 10 organizations see their property portfolio reaching net zero as extremely (57%) or somewhat (29%) important.

Clad in natural timber they feature large solar PV arrays for sustainable net-zero operation. The carbon calculation shows that Whole Life Carbon (WLC) will be 201kgCO2e/m2 which comes well within the RIBA 2030 target. As they see a timber building rising it helps them to understand the principles of sustainable construction.

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. No engineer has given me the engineering solutions to these things, but just by building, we now understand the material, and it works well.
