For years, sustainable building design focused mostly on reducing energy use. Efficiency remains the foundation of building decarbonization, lower utility costs, and stronger long-term performance. But as energy systems evolve, efficiency alone is...

A building's embodied carbon profile is defined before it is open for business—and it lasts a lifetime. It comes from the manufacturing and delivery of materials used to build the building—its concrete, steel, glass, aluminum, insulation, interior...

Energy modeling is often treated like a technical step. Something the engineering team handles. Something simple to do for energy code compliance. Something to revisit once the design is further along.

The last year has been rough on the non-profit industry. As funding cuts spread, the need to make every resource go further grew.

What happens when sustainability reporting depends on your suppliers’ ability to respond—not just your own?

EcoVadis and CDP now shape how customers assess credibility, how procurement teams compare suppliers, and how companies gather the data...

Many organizations pursue sustainability one project at a time: an energy audit, a controls upgrade, a lighting retrofit, or a renovation that finally gets funded. Those efforts can deliver real wins. But when they happen independently, it is harder...

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have become the shared language for sustainability, environmental impact measurement, and procurement decisions. In 2026, the push for transparency and comparability is not slowing down. Even in its omnibus-reduced...

Reporting pressure has changed what “good enough” means. Emissions data is no longer something companies prepare only for internal tracking or sustainability reports. It is increasingly a requirement of doing business. Large buyers are pushing...

Clear deliverables defined most leaders' 2025 sustainability strategies - and clarity increased as the year went on. Most started the year with a budget, a deadline, or a request from someone upstream. A lender asks about climate risk. A customer...
