Our innovative approach to reducing embodied carbon is a key aspect of building 7-Gen Communities.
Buildings account for nearly 40% of total greenhouse emissions. According to the Carbon Action Network, between now and 2060 the world’s population will be doubling the amount of building floor-space, equivalent to building an entire New York City every month for 40 years.
The energy used within buildings on a regular basis, operational carbon, can be reduced through new efficiencies. But embodied carbon — the emissions associated with building material manufacturing and construction — is locked in once the structure is built.
We have several methods of reducing embodied carbon, and our palette of options continues to grow with new innovations.
For example, we are pioneering light-weight structures using mass timber instead of traditional concrete and steel. This greatly reduces embodied carbon, and also provides better circularity.
Embodied carbon represents nearly half of the carbon impact of new construction today — we must greatly reduce this proportion as we build 7-Gen Communities.
Principles for Sustainable Communities
Renewable-powered distributed energy systems are driving Next-Gen AI Data Centres and 7-Gen Communities — delivering resilient, sustainable infrastructure that powers innovation and strengthens our shared future.
We prioritize the responsible use of water — integrating efficient renewable systems that support both 7-Gen Communities and Next-Gen AI Data Centres.
Our innovative approach — from building sustainable, future-ready communities to developing Next-Gen AI data centres with clean energy solutions — is key to reducing embodied carbon and driving lasting impact.
Designing sustainable transportation options to reduce the carbon footprint of communities.
Innovations such as carousel parking within sustainable communities allows for the use of park-like green spaces where parking lots once dominated.
Building sustainable communities with smart renewable energy and green construction, and developing Next-Gen AI Data Centres engineered for low operational carbon impact.
We aim to restore disturbed land, creating new urban assets with minimal disruption of foodland and natural habitats.
