De la contraportada

“This book provides much needed insights into the scale and nature of the challenges we all face in reducing the impact of built environments on our shared climate. It plots safer pathways forward for reducing operational and embodied energy in construction and refurbishment. It should be mandatory reading for all designers, planners and developers in Australia.”

—Sue Roaf, Emeritus Professor, Heriot Watt University, UK

“This book shows how, using science-based approaches, we can deliver on net zero carbon new buildings by 2030 and for existing ones we can do this by 2040.  We need a whole of life and whole building approach. This book can be used in many countries and even localised with local data and benchmarks. A great publication.”

—Professor Wu Jiang, Chairman, Asia Architecture Association

This book focuses on the transition towards net-zero carbon built environments to deliver on the climate emergency. It provides an evidence-based roadmap and proposes guidelines to achieving targets covering emerging technologies, materials, innovative design, regulations and policies.
