The topic of climate change is bombarding every industry today; they are looking for various ways to reduce the carbon footprint and bring about sustainable measures. So the AEC industry is now caught up in the chaos of climate change that AEC professionals have directed their attention toward green processes.
With the climate crisis being the focal point today, the AEC industry contributes to about 39% of the global greenhouse gases. Therefore, building operations and materials are significant factors towards pollution, and only recycling can save this industry and help achieve the goal of reducing carbon emissions.
A conscious approach
Every building has a lifecycle, and each consumes different energies at different times. Therefore, one solution or strategy cannot serve all construction designs as various factors like functions, position, and elements change for every building. However, with necessary data, a conscious approach at the time of architectural design can help the industry create a sustainable future for all.
For sustainability, a well-planned methodology is necessary to design energy efficiency right from the prebuilding phase, appropriate site selection, site planning to building form, space organization, building envelope, and more.
Some of the significant breakthroughs that professionals are bringing up to achieve sustainability in the AEC industry and cost-effective designs are as follows:
Through an efficient energy-saving program, the architectural and constructions designs are rapidly transforming, enabling the creation of green buildings that use energy-efficient appliances, renewable energy power sources, recycled materials, optimized designs for energy efficiency, and more.
