Low-Carbon Materials

Low-carbon materials are those that have a minimal environmental impact during their production, transportation, and use. Examples include sustainably sourced timber, recycled steel, and low-carbon concrete. Utilizing these materials reduces the embodied emissions associated with building construction. The adoption of low-carbon materials is essential for achieving ZEB objectives, as they contribute to a building’s overall sustainability profile. Moreover, the use of such materials often aligns with circular construction practices, further enhancing environmental benefits.
