Recently the world has experienced the effects of climate change more than ever before. Forests across the globe are on fire and Europe has experienced heat waves like no other. With the acceleration of such ‘freak events’, we get a preview of where we are heading and feel more than ever compelled to take the much needed drastic measures towards achieving net zero and optimistically going beyond. But what does that mean? What needs to happen in order for us to reverse the ef

At the beginning of this month we announced the return of The Green Real Estate 2022 with the theme ‘Beyond Net Zero’. In anticipation of this event where we will explore what it means to rethink our buildings beyond reducing their environmental footprint, beyond maximizing their efficiency and beyond simply balancing their impact we have been exploring the various aspects of net zero buildings. Now that we have covered strategies on how to achieve such a project, in this art

The term ‘energy transition’ is taken as an approach to convert the global energy sector from fossil fuels to carbon-free energy sources by the second half of this century. The focus is on the need to reduce energy-related CO2 emissions in order to limit the impact of climate change. As part of the goal to reach net zero, building must use more sustainable sources of energy. Decarbonizing the energy sector requires urgent action at the global level, and while the global energ

As global governments shift towards becoming more decarbonised, Net Zero Energy buildings are becoming more popular among developers. Most countries have set targets to reduce greenhouse gas production and limit climate change impacts to levels where the Earth’s temperature increase will be at or below zero degrees celsius. In addition to shifting the way we build for Net-Zero Carbon Buildings, in this two-part blog series, we will explore how the the net zero concept is pres
