Résumé:
In this volume, carbon pioneers Bruce King and Chris Magwood re-envision buildings as one of our most practical and affordable climate solutions instead of leading drivers of climate change. They provide a snapshot of a beginning and map towards a carbon-smart built environment that acts as a CO2 filter. Professional engineers, designers, and developers are invited to imagine the very real potential for our built environment to be a site of net carbon storage, a massive drawdown pool that could help to heal our climate.This book looks at the good and the bad of how we track carbon (Life Cycle Assessment), then takes a deep dive into materials (with a focus on steel and concrete) and biological architecture, and wraps up with education, policy and governance, circular economy, and where we go in the next three decades.

Résumé:
“Green buildings” that slash energy use and carbon emissions are all the rage, but they aren’t enough. The hidden culprit is embodied carbon?the carbon emitted when materials are mined, manufactured, and transported?comprising some ten percent of global emissions. With the built environment doubling by 2030, buildings are a carbon juggernaut threatening to overwhelm the climate. Like never before in history, buildings can become part of the climate solution. With biomimicry and innovation, we can pull huge amounts of carbon out of the atmosphere and lock it up as walls, roofs, foundations, and insulation. We can literally make buildings out of the sky with a massive positive impact.

Résumé:
La conscience de la crise écologique et l'épuisement imminent des matières premières transforment nos exigences.Les usagers d'aujourd'hui souhaitent des bâtiments plus performants ; la réglementation de demain les imposera. Pourquoi la construction en bottes de paille est-elle devenue la star de la construction durable ? Parce qu'elle emploie un matériau abondant, renouvelable, peu transformé et très bon marché. Un matériau qui concilie efficience et respect de l'environnement. Adapté de l'américain, ce livre reflète l'état de l'art en la matière, depuis l'expertise structurale jusqu'aux plus infimes détails de conception. S'appuyant sur les données et conclusions de nombreuses recherches et expériences menées dans différents pays, il permet de comprendre en profondeur le comportement des murs en paille et d'anticiper les paramètres clés d'un édifice viable et durable.
