How does the EcoMethod™ help to achieve the leading climate change policy objectives?
The American Institute of Architect’s 2030 Challenge, the US Conference of Mayor’s Climate Protection Agreement and American College & University President’s Climate Commitment each anticipate construction activities that will have economic, social and environmental implications. The 2030 Challenge anticipates that over 5 billion sf of new buildings and an additional 5 billion sf of renovation projects will occur in the US per year. Even if these buildings are built to be more energy efficient, the economic and resource implications are substantial. The EcoMethod™ offers a way to capitalize on the economic potential of these projects while minimizing the Greenhouse Gas emissions from the construction process and promoting the efficient use of natural resources.
