Few challenges are as complex as delivering high-performing, net zero, and resilient buildings and infrastructure at scale. There are tremendous opportunities for AEC firms to lead this transformation with tools and processes that quantify and optimize the total carbon impact on the built environment.
What if one report could give you the industry view on the drivers behind green building, tell you what your peers are planning, and show you how to stand out from the competition?
That report is the 2021 World Green Building Trends report.
