OUR VISION
Towards a Carbon
Neutral Built Environment.
What ‘carbon neutral’ really means for cities. How to build smart, carbon neutral buildings and why it matters.
Imagine a world where our Built Environment not only provides shelter and space for thriving economies, but it too contributes to our health and wellness. In a world where structures are designed to harmonise with their surroundings, reduce waste, and neutralise our carbon footprint.
The race towards Carbon Neutrality by 2050 is what drives the world today on an urgent mission.
Reducing carbon emissions in buildings will be critical to achieving climate goals and carbon neutrality by 2050. Efficient, carbon neutral buildings take advantage of available, cost-effective technology to reduce emissions while increasing health, equity and economic prosperity in local communities.
At Swan and Maclaren, we are passionate about this purpose. This is the world of sustainable design, engineering, smart technologies, and building methods – towards a more sustainable and equitable world in the Built Environment.
