MY Latest book
To meet our climate targets, buildings will need to be built "beyond zero" with net zero emissions in operation and net carbon storage in materials. This new book points the way to achieving this ambitious but necessary target.

How extensive are the emissions that arise from the manufacturing of home building materials? And what can we do to get these emissions down to zero, or better?
This research paper for Natural Resources Canada is the first in-depth study of material carbon emissions in the home building sector. The report helps us to understand the scale of material emissions and shows how smart material choices are a key climate solution. |
For over 20 years, I have been presenting to audiences small and large, professionals and laypeople. I love inspiring, challenging and sharing my sustainable building knowledge with people in Canada and around the world!
