About this product
Product Information
In Build Beyond Zero, carbon pioneers Bruce King and Chris Magwood re-envision buildings as one of our most practical and affordable climate solutions instead of a leading driver of climate change. They make a case for a "carbon smart" built environment that absorbs more greenhouse gases than it emits. While the industry pursues net zero emissions focused on improving the energy efficiency of buildings, a carbon-smart approach also considers what we make all those buildings with , and the supply chains that deliver all those products and materials. Build Beyond Zero offers an exciting vision of climate-friendly architecture, along with practical advice for professionals working to address the carbon footprint of our built environment.

Build Beyond Zero is a timely and deeply informative tour d'horizon of the ways to build structures of all kinds so they avoid or capture and store carbon emissions. Mixing humor and deep knowledge, King and Magwood sketch out a compelling story of how humans can transform their built environment. Specifically examining how we use wood, cement, plastics, and other materials, they show an innovative path forward to meet our most demanding climate goals. In the face of widespread inertia, this book strikes just the right tone of can-do optimism with a touch of history and philosophy. Down to earth and visionary., Wherever your influence along the value chain, wherever you find yourself along the optimism spectrum, Build Beyond Zero has something for you. You will never design or build a building in the same way again., Timing is everything and with Build Beyond Zero King and Magwood are releasing to the world a profound, yet very doable climate action plan for the building industry. They provide a smorgasbord of solutions available for use today to help move the industry from climate villain to climate hero., Build Beyond Zero is a comprehensive and clear overview of construction practices and their potential climate impact in the near future.... King and Magwood offer an essential manifesto for anyone involved in commissioning or carrying out construction or renovation, anyone involved in the production of building materials, anyone involved in the establishment or modification of building codes, anyone involved in construction education., There is much to love in this book. It will give the general reader an understanding of the issues, but it will have many lightbulb moments for professionals and will give them a new language, and a way of explaining these issues. I and others have been trying to do this for decades, but none have been as clear, as easy to read and understand, and as useful as King and Magwood in Build Beyond Zero ., Build Beyond Zero is a remarkably compelling, educational, and encouraging book that outlines specific and concrete actions the building industry can take to reduce its impact on climate change. Both approachable and deeply informative, this book is required reading for industry professionals.
