City Handbook for Carbon Neutral Buildings

City Handbook for Carbon Neutral Buildings

This handbook provides knowledge and guidance for using sustainable, bio-based building materials in construction, from their production to transportation, assemblage, and treatment after demolition.

Bio-based materials can help to make buildings carbon-positive by locking carbon into the materials and storing it over the life of the product. A fundamental barrier to working with new materials in the construction industry is product knowledge and material accessibility. The City Handbook for Carbon Neutral Buildings offers a guide for policymakers and practitioners worldwide to overcome these barriers and gives public as well as private procurement teams a hands-on tool to allow them to influence the adoption of bio-based materials.
