Green Construction Projected to Grow to AU$2 trillion by 2030

Scientists expect global temperatures to continue to rise because of human-caused greenhouse gases, according to NASA’s Vital Signs of the Planet, and more extreme and dangerous weather events will be a result.

The building and construction industry can make a substantial impact in efforts to minimise greenhouse gas emissions and cut energy consumption. The industry contributes a whopping 37% to the world’s energy-related emissions, according to United Nations.

What’s more, interest in green building – from regulators, investors and consumers – is growing. The green buildings industry is projected to grow to AU$2 trillion by 2030, a 138% increase from 2021.

 

Green Building Growth

Green building, also called sustainable or green construction, relies on environmentally responsible and resource-efficient materials and processes to reduce the impact on the natural environment and human health.

When done right, green construction triggers many benefits:

  • Reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change by promoting energy-efficient designs and technologies such as green cement and heat recovery systems.
  • Conserving resources such as water and materials by prioritising their efficient use and reducing waste, including building with recycled steel and modelling design options to produce the most sustainable version.
  • Promoting public health with designs that boost energy efficiency and create healthy and comfortable indoor spaces.
  • Offering economic benefits such as lower operating costs with the deployment of energy-efficient designs and appliances and increased asset value.
