| Description: | REDUCTION OF EMBODIED EMISSIONS IS CRUCIAL FOR ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE AND LOW-CARBON BUILDING PRACTICES. GREENEST CREATES AN ECOSYSTEM THAT INTEGRATES CO2 NEUTRAL BUILDING MATERIALS (REUSED, RECYCLED AND LOCALLY SOURCED BIOGENIC MATERIALS) AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES (ABIOTIC COMPONENTS) INTO THE BUILDING DESIGN, TOGETHER WITH HUMAN RESPONSE AND NATURAL/GREEN SYSTEMS (BIOTIC COMPONENTS) TO DEMONSTRATE RESOURCE EFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION THAT NEEDS LESS MATERIALS AND IMPLEMENTS ENERGY-EFFICIENT CIRCULAR CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES. THE PROJECT TARGETS 100% CARBON FREE CONSTRUCTION THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF BIOGENIC MATERIALS THAT STORE CARBON, THE REDUCTION OF EMBODIED EMISSIONS BY 50% WITH RESPECT TO NZEB STANDARD, ZEB OR EVEN POSITIVE ENERGY STANDARDS VIA RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES WITH REMAINING PRIMARY ENERGY CONSUMPTION LESS THAN 30-40 KWH/M2, REDUCTION OF GHG EMISSIONS BY 60% AND INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY OF CONSTRUCTION BY >30%. |
