Summary

In the past decade, we have witnessed tremendous growth in green or sustainable building practices, which initially were voluntary, but more recently are trending toward mandatory adoption. This growth includes rapid adoption of sustainable practices across the construc-tion industry and more ambitious long-term sustainable development planning, including engineering infrastructures based on low and zero carbon technologies. Many plans include a goal to transform a city to zero carbon over time.
