5 things to know about carbon-free construction
Buildings and construction generate nearly 40% of global carbon emissions. As urbanization skyrockets, the sector needs to find ways to rapidly decarbonize through net-zero building.
Home to one of the oldest microgrids in the US, the University of California San Diego s Geisel Library is aiming to go carbon-free by 2025
