世界绿色建筑周(2019年9月23 - 29日)是一年一度的活动,它激励和授权我们所有人建造更绿色的建筑——EcoHome已经做了10多年,我们的200万读者似乎很欣赏这一点!

To show solidarity with the cause, this World Green Building Week, we’re #BuildingLife and signing the pledge to continue exploring how we can create a green, healthy and climate resilient built environment for all.

This year’s campaign aims to raise greater awareness of the carbon emissions from all stages of a building’s lifecycle, and therefore encourage new practices and new ways of thinking to work towards reducing carbon emissions from buildings - which is why EcoHome has launched a promotion ofSustainably built LEED & Passive House ready prefab kit homes, see here.

Did you know buildings and construction are responsible for 39% of global energy-related carbon emissions? 28% of these emissions come from the operational "in-use" phase – to heat, power and cool them, while 11% of these emissions are attributed to embodied carbon emissions, which refers to carbon that is released during the construction process and material manufacturing.

To date, the mainstream building and construction industry’s focus has been on operational emissions and how buildings actually perform in-use - though EcoHome already has72 guides covering the Carbon Footprint of buildings & how to reduce them.

We say let's keep up the good work on Sustainable Construction - with EcoHome! To readmore about building sustainable green homes, see here, from the EcoHome Green Building Guides
