Build With Strength is a sponsor of CarbonPositive’20 to be held in Los Angeles from March 2 - 4. The conference provides a “how-to” for planning, designing, building and manufacturing a Carbon Positive future where buildings, developments and entire cities are constructed to use sustainable resources, generate surplus renewable energy and convert atmospheric carbon into durable materials and products. The conference is organized by Architecture 2030.
On Valentine’s Day 2011, Architecture 2030 announced the Challenge for Products to reduce carbon footprint by 50% by 2030. NRMCA became one of the first industry groups to adopt the challenge. In 2012, we were one of the first industries to publish a Product Category Rule; in 2014, NRMCA published its first Industry-Wide Environmental Product Declaration and Benchmarks for carbon footprint. And in 2019, NRMCA published the third version of the Industry-Wide EPD and Benchmarks indicating the industry has reduced its carbon footprint by 13% in five years, well on the way toward meeting the 2030 challenge. Build With Strength is sponsoring and exhibiting at CarbonPositive’20 to reinforce the industry’s commitment to meeting the 2030 challenge through transparency, innovation and collaboration.
