Our world is hurdling towards a point of no return for reversing the effects of human-caused climate change. Currently, buildings generate nearly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions in the world and represent 36% of global energy use. In total, the estimated global floor area of buildings is around 2.4 trillion square feet – and that number is likely to double by 2060. To avoid the devastating weather, population, and health implications of a warming planet, it’s incumbent upon us to act in anyway we can. Regenerative and sustainable architecture is not only a feel-good trend – it’s about health safety and welfare. ir(reversible) will deal with topics of how architects can quickly plug in and utilize resources for reducing carbon emissions on their projects today and start reversing the effects of climate change on the planet.
