This is another useful article about EC and how our built environment will change between now and 2050.

What can we do about embodied carbon?

Hello everybody,
There is a special issue from Journal of Buildings named “AI-aided” Carbon Engineering in The AEC Industry* that are welcoming ideas of using digital technologies to reduce the embodied/operational carbon emissions in the AEC.

Please take a look if you have some articles in progress or ready to go.
