From 2028, all new buildings over 1,000 m² must undergo whole-life carbon (WLC) assessments under the recast 𝙀𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝘽𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝘿𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 (𝙀𝙋𝘽𝘿). By 2030, this extends to all new buildings. That’s a paradigm shift, but readiness is uneven: • Denmark, France, Netherlands already enforce WLC limits; Denmark even tightened thresholds in 2025. • Ireland, UK, Spain are piloting WLC assessments without binding limits (yet). • Others are still racing to set benchmarks before 2030.

Can we really achieve net zero buildings? The building sector is one of the most complex and influential sectors in the world, especially when it comes to decabonisation. If you ask people outside the field, they’ll usually say: “Just put some solar panels” OR “Decarbonise the grid” But trust me, the story is very different than that. Achieving net zero buildings isn't just about supplying clean energy. It's alot more than that! It's first about reducing energy intensity. We’re talking about cutting energy use by 30% to 50% to align with net zero targets. It’s also about electrification: replacing boilers and any onsite fuel combustion. It’s also about DESIGN and implementing green building principles across the lifecycle of the building. but are we really designing our buildings to be green? Do these buildings remain green during operation? Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dg3vv_uR Don't forget about embodied emissions. You can’t talk about Net Zero buildings without talking about steel and cement…. Check it this out to learn more: https://lnkd.in/dAV3a7xa But the main issue is that the buildings and construction sector is not on track to meet the Paris Agreement goals (read more here: https://lnkd.in/dmFyYsRu ) So, where shall we start to advance the decabonisation of the sector? ➡️ Follow Majd Fayyad for more insights about sustainability and decarbonisation 🔄 Repost and share with your network #MajdTalks

🌱 The ABCs of Green Building 🌍 What if we could design our cities like a living, breathing ecosystem? Green building isn’t just about energy-efficient walls or solar panels on rooftops. It’s about reimagining how we live, work, and thrive in spaces that give back to the planet instead of draining it. From Architecture & Air to Zero Waste, the ABCs of green building show us that sustainability has a language of its own. Every letter is a step toward healthier cities, lower emissions, and future-ready infrastructure. 🏙️ Imagine skylines filled with green roofs, powered by renewable energy, cooled through passive design, and sustained by water harvesting. 🌍 Imagine workplaces that ensure healthy spaces, smart systems, and net-zero goals at the core. 💡 Imagine homes where better materials, daylight use, and urban greening become the new normal. This isn’t a dream. It’s a blueprint for tomorrow. And the best part? Every architect, engineer, policymaker, and citizen has a role to play. 👉 The future of construction is not concrete—it’s conscious. Are we ready to build smarter, greener, and better?
