Authoritative roadmap to the design and construction of a carbon-positive built environment
Build Like It's the End of the World stands as a compelling manifesto for the AEC industry, confronting the urgent challenges of climate change with actionable solutions. Authored by Sandeep Ahuja and Patrick Chopson, this text embarks on a journey to redefine the future of our built environment. Through a lens of decarbonization, it challenges established norms and introduces a new benchmark for sustainable design and construction.
This book not only advocates for a radical shift in design and construction philosophy but also provides a concrete blueprint for achieving carbon-positivity in our projects and practices. The authors bring their extensive experience and research to the forefront, offering a guide that marries rigorous analytical methods with practical applications. It is a call to action, urging professionals and students alike to embrace innovative technologies and strategies that can lead to significant changes in how we conceive and construct our spaces.
Within its pages, readers will find:
- A comprehensive strategy for carbon-positive design: a detailed blueprint showcases step-by-step how sustainable practices can be integrated into projects, drawing on the authors' vast experience and thorough research.
- Engaging tools for practical implementation: bridging the gap between high-level sustainability goals and their execution, providing readers with learning objectives, instructional activities, and compelling case studies.
- Insights on embedding sustainable practices: it offers valuable perspectives on incorporating carbon-positive principles into existing workflows, highlighting the simplicity and profound impact of these efforts.
- The economic and cultural case for sustainable buildings: demonstrating the viability and necessity of carbon-positive buildings, emphasizing the importance of a cultural shift towards decarbonization in the construction industry.
Build Like It's the End of the World is an essential read for anyone in the AEC field looking to navigate the complexities of decarbonization of buildings. It serves as a powerful testament to the role of technology and strategic innovation in transforming the industry, guiding us towards a future where our buildings play a pivotal role in the health of our planet.
