World Green Building Week

The World Green Building Council is a global network which aims to transform the way we live. Green buildings are crucial in our changing climate and it is vital we reshape how we live, work, play, heal and learn to ensure sustained growth. The World Green Building Council promotes both local and global impact, supporting our communities to inspire change.

World Green Building Week is an annual event for the continued progress of green buildings for everyone, everywhere. The theme this year is Net Zero Buildings, under the tagline #OurHeroIsZero. 30% of global carbon emissions can be accredited to buildings, however net zero buildings are highly efficient and use clean energy. This week JRA and other members of the Green Building Council want to learn, share and lead the way in terms of understanding the importance of net zero. JRA has been listed on the Hero Action Map for our promotion of Life Cycle Assessment and Whole Life Carbon services. Our aim is to give our clients an understanding of the benefits to them in reducing the carbon footprint of building projects over their entire life cycle. As well as this, JRA will be involved in some of the events that are taking place this week. We look forward to seeing you there.
