Description
InDefeating MrCO2: Energy saving guide to achieving Net Zero this book tackles the urgent issue of climate change head-on, focusing on the role of carbon dioxide (CO₂) as the primary greenhouse gas fuelling global warming. The stakes couldn’t be higher: as temperatures soar and natural disasters become ever more frequent, the need for a drastic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is pressing—especially in the built environment, which accounts for an astonishing 40 percent of total emissions. However, reducing emissions doesn’t mean compromising on our comfort and safety indoors. In fact, as our climate grows harsher, ensuring that our homes, offices, and indoor spaces are comfortable and protective becomes even more essential.
This guidebook takes you through a pragmatic approach to reducing carbon emissions without sacrificing the quality of indoor environments. It addresses both the technical and personal aspects of climate adaptation, emphasizing that net zero buildings are not only achievable but are designed to provide optimal living conditions. Covering the fundamentals of energy efficiency, sustainable materials, and advanced systems for temperature and humidity control, this book provides a comprehensive roadmap to transforming buildings into safe, climate-resilient spaces.
With clear, actionable steps, this book empowers readers—architects, builders, policy makers, and anyone invested in sustainable living—to rethink building operations from the ground up. It illustrates how to balance energy demands with comfort requirements, ensuring that as we work toward net zero, we also create spaces where people can thrive. Combining scientific insights with real-world examples, Defeating MrCO2 shows that we can create a sustainable future without compromising the indoor spaces that have become our sanctuaries against the changing climate.
This essential guide offers a vision of buildings as more than mere shelters; they are part of the solution to the climate crisis. By focusing on low-emission, comfortable environments, Defeating MrCO2 illuminates a path to climate resilience that we can all build together.
