The construction industry must deliver buildings that don’t harm people physically, emotionally or economically, and that have a small environmental footprint, if it wants to win back consumer confidence, says NSW Building Commissioner David Chandler, who will be speaking at The Fifth Estate’s Building Circularity event in two weeks.
The industry must start cutting embodied carbon in building projects, and could one day be subject to pricing signals if it continues to score poorly on environmental grounds, Mr Chandler said.
