As Vietnam’s population continues to urbanize and the demand for new buildings rises, it’s increasingly important to consider the built environment’s environmental, social, and economic impacts.
On a global scale, according to the United Nations, the building and construction sector accounts for 40% of worldwide energy use, 30% of energy-related carbon emissions, and almost 40% of waste. Vietnam’s rapid expansion of cities is already placing significant strains on natural resources, contributing to climate change and challenges to livability. To address these challenges and support the country’s sustainability goals, adopting more sustainable building design and construction practices is essential.
