WELCOME TO ZERO

We want a net zero emissions construction industry.

Our vision of the future is an industry that places great importance on carbon efficiency. An industry that continuously measures and manages carbon through all project stages, basing project decisions on CO2e emissions, not just cost, time, quality, and safety.

Our mission is to learn, share, and raise awareness of relevant topics. Our content will be accessible and engaging and focus on original thinking and innovation. We want to reach a wide audience, and spark change on projects, within organisations, and across the whole industry.

We are an independent industry group of construction professionals from a range of backgrounds. We'll use our collective experience in practical solutions and project realities to deliver our mission.

We want everyone to know more about these topics. We'll be sharing original content in the form of articles, podcasts, webinars, and at an open interactive conference in 2022.

OUR TOPICS

MATERIALS

METHODS

Material selection is key to reducing embodied emissions. What new materials and new processing techniques result in lower emissions?

Construction plant, equipment, labour, and transport all contribute to our industry’s emissions. How can we optimise and reduce these emissions?

By maximising assembly at renewably powered facilities, some projects are heading towards net zero emissions. How can more projects take advantage of this?
