With all the challenges of balancing sustainability with market factors, progress toward building sector decarbonization can seem slow. Articles like this one, though, help me stay optimistic, as we continue to electrify our buildings, as the easiest thing we can do to be part of a carbon-emissions solution in the built-environment sector. We ARE making progress (one project at a time)!

🌿 The Built Environment and Energy Retrofits 🌿 More green energy retrofits are prompted by incentives and sustainability goals. 🌎💚 #GreenEnergy #Sustainability #EnergyEfficiency #BuiltEnvironment #GreenBuildings #EcoFriendly #EnergyRetrofits #FutureProofing #SustainableDevelopment https://lnkd.in/g4JTkdVQ

Facilities management is key to enhancing energy efficiency and lowering carbon emissions in buildings and infrastructure, making it one of the primary industries to be examined critically. How is COP28 expected to impact facilities management? https://zurl.co/JYBy

It is inspiring to witness organizations embracing zero-energy standards, where buildings operate solely on renewable energy sources like solar power and battery storage. These initiatives not only reduce environmental impact but also set a precedent for sustainable living and construction practices. By setting clear definitions for sustainability goals, we can encourage each other to work together towards a more sustainable future. #SustainableConstruction #ZeroEmissions #Sustainability

Hat-tip to Lisa Lin, LEED AP and the Harris County Office of County Administration's Sustainability Office for their partnership with the UH Cullen College of Engineering in engaging University of Houston researchers in developing energy performance baselines for county buildings and then identifying #energyefficiency measures to reduce consumption. They've saved $230k per year already with a 2-year payback. This is an important initiative in helping Harris County to achieve its goal of reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from the operations of its buildings by 50% over the next five years. #climateaction #climatesolutions #houston https://lnkd.in/gqwUfjiZ

Net zero buildings are no longer a futuristic concept, but a crucial step towards a sustainable future for our planet.  These buildings minimize energy use through efficiency measures and generate their own clean energy through renewables! As building professionals, we have a responsibility to prioritize net zero design.  This article explores the key elements –  from efficient design and renewable energy sources to responsible water use and waste reduction. Let's work together to achieve net zero and create a regenerative built environment that gives back more than it takes.  The future of our planet depends on it! https://lnkd.in/dTJ_s7dg https://lnkd.in/dYMdB2md #netzero #sustainability #construction #buildingdesign

If you're looking to get a jumpstart on decarbonizing your building(s) or partnering with others to do that, this blog offers a topline explanation of how. Net zero is possible. And you can download a report with more detailed info. Check it out. #decarbonization #decarbonizingbuildings #netzero #netzerobuildings https://lnkd.in/ggeZ2rTw

The push toward Net Zero homes is not just a passing trend—it’s a smart and necessary solution to rising energy costs and environmental challenges. https://zurl.co/cBHt #NetZero #EnergyCosts #EnvironmentalChallenges #SustainableTomorrow
