Approximately 37% of global #CarbonEmissions come from the building sector. 🌍 #ClimateChange is a global issue, and the building sector has a critical role to play. It's not just about ticking boxes and meeting regulatory requirements – it's about being part of the solution to a global crisis. We know that sustainability is no longer a nice-to-have, but a must-have in our industry. It's time for us to think differently about how we design, build, and operate our buildings.

🌱𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 Green buildings aren't just about eco-friendly roofs or walls—they’re crucial for a #sustainable #future. As we spend most of our time indoors, many #buildings remain #energy inefficient, relying on #fossil #fuels and vulnerable to #climate #change. The EU's #Renovation #Wave aims to address this, doubling renovation rates by 2030, improving energy efficiency, and creating up to 160,000 #green #jobs. A #greener building sector means stricter regulations, rising resource prices, and shifting #market demands. Sustainable construction focuses on energy and #water #efficiency, #reducing #emissions, and using eco-friendly materials. By embracing this change, we can drive #economic #development while ensuring healthier environments for future generations.
