We know how to build a truly zero carbon house. So why are we not doing it, on a massive scale?

MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab researchers aim to design concrete mixtures that use AI to shrink environmental footprint and cost, while recycling byproducts and increasing performance.

New analysis could help identify optimal materials for the crisscrossing struts that bolster bridges, towers, and buildings.

Embodied carbon - carbon produced during a building’s construction - urgently needs reducing, and reusing buildings could help.

One-tenth of global emissions result from the production and supply of building materials – and the construction process itself.

New research has found that low-rise urban environments are more space and carbon efficient than high-rise buildings which have a drastically higher carbon impact.

Alaska is warming faster than any other U.S. state, and that’s causing problems, a team of bridge engineers and social scientists explains. The infrastructure bill in Congress would offer some help.

Excessive heat puts your body at risk for organ damage. When workers don’t have a chance to cool off at home between shifts, that harm can accumulate.
