Carbon reduction in construction: a net benefit, not just to the environment, but to the bottom line
Over the next ten years, 80 to 90 percent of the carbon emitted from new construction will be embodied carbon—carbon emissions that come from the extraction, manufacture, transport and installation of materials through construction. To address this challenge, Skanska conceived and seed-funded a solution for calculating carbon embodied in construction materials with the groundbreaking, open-source Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) tool. Skanska USA Chief Sustainability Officer Beth Heider provides a view on our progress in meeting the construction industry’s carbon challenge.
