Evolution Towards a Regenerative Materials Future

Material choices for buildings can affect everything from electricity usage and embodied carbon to occupant health and ecological health. Because buildings play such a crucial role in our lives and the transition to a cleaner future, we must consider all these implications when selecting materials for new construction and building updates. In a nutshell: The transition of buildings from today’s reality to the future desired state needs to be multi-attribute and holistic.

Whether you are in a corporate sustainability or procurement role, the architecture, engineering and construction community, or government, learning the important considerations for material selection that honors nature and human health, alongside carbon considerations, is crucial.
