Building with a carbon budget is the next sustainable leap forward

The publication “Paris Proof Stations design research on material bound CO2 emissions in the design phase” has been released. Commissioned by Bureau Spoorbouwmeester, GROUP A architects’s think tank CARBONLAB, together with ProRail and NS Stations (part of Dutch Railways), conducted a thorough and comprehensive study based on concrete projects. Based on the sustainability ambitions pursued by the parties, in line with the (national) goals from the Climate Act: 55% less CO2 emissions by 2030, 95% less by 2050 – compared to 1990. The design research makes material-related CO2 emissions measurable and provides design tools to enable station developments within the CO2 budget for Paris Proof building.
