The rise in global temperatures is resulting in catastrophic events around the world, including wildfires, flooding and the hottest temperatures ever recorded, underscoring the urgency for industry to mitigate the effects of climate change.
A sector that could make a big difference is the built environment, which is responsible for 42 per cent of the world’s annual global carbon emissions. With this in mind, industry leaders are generating innovative solutions to propel the sector towards a sustainable future.
Digital platforms to advance sustainability
Lendlease, a globally integrated real estate group with its Asia headquarters in Singapore, has established a digital property life cycle platform called Podium, which it says can help the industry make more sustainable decisions across building development, construction and operations - dramatically reducing costs.
Podium takes a data-centric approach to the entire real estate delivery and management value chain, which can help direct the built environment towards more sustainable building practices.
