Buildings contribute a staggering 37% of global carbon emissions. And their environmental impact lasts a long time even after the bulldozers have left.

Almost three-quarters of these emissions arise from heating, cooling and powering these spaces. We spend 90% of our time indoors, so buildings also have an important role to play in supporting our health and wellbeing.

How can we design our spaces to be better for people and less harmful to the planet?

This series shows that long-term thinking can create buildings that help lift people up without letting the planet down.

Join us as we explore the pioneering buildings around us.
