Buildings use about 40% of global energy and generate over a third of greenhouse gas emissions. That’s why net-zero buildings matter. They’re designed to cut or offset emissions, so they add no extra CO₂ to the atmosphere. But how do we know when a project is truly net-zero and not just “greenwashed”? This is where standards and certifications act as the rulebook. In this blog, we’ll look at what net-zero means, the design and technologies behind it, leading case studies, and the global certifications from LEED to BREEAM that give credibility to net-zero claims. What Does Net-Zero Mean, and How Is It Different from “Green” Buildings? Net-zero buildings balance the carbon they emit with reductions or offsets. Type Definition Key Points Net-zero energy Produces as much renewable energy as it consumes Focus on operational energy only Net-zero carbon Reduces emissions via clean energy + verified offsets Can include some embodied carbon Whole-life net-zero Accounts for operational and embodied carbon Most rigorous, requires verified offsets for remaining emissions All net-zero buildings are green, but not all green buildings are net-zero. Green buildings may address water, waste, or indoor air quality, whereas net-zero requires measurable, verified carbon balance. Design and Materials: Foundations…
The concrete industry is under growing pressure. Producers must maintain high-quality standards while also reducing costs, material waste, and carbon emissions. Traditional mix management methods lack adaptability, as they rely on outdated, manual, and reactive processes. In this context, Giatec’s Roxi™ emerges as a powerful example of Concrete AI, reshaping how producers manage and optimize their mixes. In this blog, let’s take a look at how Giatec’s AI assistant supports concrete production. The Challenges of Traditional Mix Management To begin, concrete producers face major daily challenges: raw material variability, strict specs, and limited real-time visibility. Most producers overdesign by 600–700 PSI, resulting in the overuse of about 80 lbs of cement per cubic yard on average, according to the NRMCA yearly quality survey. These inefficiencies lead to higher production costs, environmental impacts, and underutilization of available resources. Traditional methods lack adaptability and agility, primarily because they’re built around outdated, manual, and reactive processes. Furthermore, testing and adjustments are infrequent and often disconnected from real-time conditions, resulting in overdesign, increased variability, and reduced profitability. Meet Roxi: Giatec’s Concrete AI Assistant Roxi tackles key problems like overdesign, slump variability, underperformance, and reactive quality control. It continuously analyzes data from plants, in-transit sensors…
Smart cities are no longer a futuristic idea. They’re being built now, transforming how we live and how we build. These tech-driven cities use data to solve real urban challenges, from traffic to energy to climate impact. As they take shape, the role of construction becomes more central than ever. Every smart utility, transit line, and high-performance building must first be constructed, and that work starts with contractors and engineers. The shift is already underway. Cities around the world are investing in smart infrastructure at record pace. For construction teams, that means new expectations, new tools, and new project types. In this blog, let’s take a look at how smart cities represent an opportunity for the industry, changing what we build, how we build it, and who gets to lead the future of urban development. What Makes a City “Smart” And Why Construction Is at the Core? At its core, a smart city uses technology and data to improve how people live. This includes tools like IoT sensors, AI-powered analytics, smart energy systems, connected transit, and digital public services. These systems work together to make cities more efficient, sustainable, and responsive. For example: But none of this exists without construction….
