Many companies are taking a step toward decarbonization to bring a sustainable future for all. Such is the case for builders and developers—and many are creating a clear roadmap for how to create that more sustainable future.
As one instance, The Daniels Corp., recently created a decarbonization roadmap that outlines an action blueprint for its next two development cycles, which illustrates how it plans to become a leading low-carbon builder and developer. The company will replace technologies and systems that run on fossil fuels with alternatives that run on low-carbon electricity to reduce pollution and carbon footprint. For example, geoexchange, air-source heat pumps, and rooftop solar installations.
Here is how this can help:
Reach the goal of near-zero whole life carbon for all new communities starting development in 2026.
Use minimum material quantity while maintaining performance through improved design and construction practices.
Reduced carbon impact through mass timber design and low-carbon concrete.
Looking to the future, we will see the rise of more low-carbon master-planned communities to help address the climate crisis we face. Construction companies and developers will need to lead the charge in the built environment to make lasting change happen.
