Energy

The operations of buildings account for 30% of total global energy consumption and approximately 27% of global energy-related emissions.

The energy market of the built environment is approximately $2 trillion, providing a massive market size and financial opportunity.

Inefficient construction

Offsite construction can accelerate construction by as much as 50%, substantially mitigating the labor shortage in the industry.

By 2030, modular construction could yield yearly savings of $22 billion in European and US markets with moderate penetration, expanding the market size of modular construction to $130 billion.

Sick building syndrome

Among those exposed to lower outdoor air supply rates, the risk of short-term sick leave was 35 % or 1.2 to 1.9 days of increased sick leave per person annually.

In the US, the cost of lost labor could be as much as $22.8 billion per year. Europe and North America combined the cost could reach $50 billion per year.

Materials

Concrete manufacturing accounts for approximately 8% of global C02 emissions. If the production of concrete would be a country, it would be the third biggest emitter of Co2.

The global ready-mix concrete market was projected to be between $500 – $800 billion in 2021 and estimated to grow to $800 – $1000 billion during 2027.

Circularity

Cities consume more than 75% of all natural resources.

Broad-based recycling of construction materials coupled with smart design could reduce CO2 emissions generated by buildings by over 30%.
