Excerpt

The chapter delves into the significant role of building envelopes in reducing carbon emissions, focusing on the volume and impact of envelope materials. It introduces a methodology to apply design guidelines contextually and explores seven iterations of envelope materials, including natural, bio-based, and salvaged materials. Each iteration is analyzed for its impact on embodied and operational carbon emissions, with detailed data and comparative inferences. The study also covers alternative materials for roofs and shading devices, showcasing the potential for substantial carbon reductions. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the importance of thoughtful material selection in achieving net-zero targets, with insights applicable across various building typologies and stages of development.
