Roadmap to Net Zero Construction” provides an essential investigation of the rapidly evolving construction practices within our world and around us. The focus of the book is the necessary transformation to NetZero construction — reinforcing that buildings must become carbon neutral or have zero carbon emissions and no net depletion of natural resources to effectively tackle climate change.

In the past decade, there has been a growing push to reduce global carbon footprints and increase socially responsible standards on construction projects. This sector is a major producer of greenhouse gas emissions and thus an important component to achieving global sustainability objectives. The textbook is intelligently designed to assist students and teachers by catering to their need for deeper understanding along with practical aspects in this area. The book, which serves as a framework and guide for industry practitioners, policymakers, researchers and anyone focused on establishing a more sustainable built environment presents the following: Thorough investigation into sustainable materials, energy-efficient design concepts, and approaches to regulation as well as real-world case studies. "Roadmap to NetZero Construction" empowers readers with the know-how needed for a multi-faceted understanding of how best one can involve themselves in shaping our building practices towards more ecological and resilient futures.
