Decarbonising the Building Industry

The Decarbonising Building Industry (DBI) initiative stands at the forefront of sustainable transformation within the building industry. As a collaborative network, it unites researchers, industry experts, and policymakers in a mission to innovate and implement green solutions for urban development. Through the DBI, thought leaders and change-makers come together to share knowledge, and explore best practices that pave the way for energy-efficient buildings and reduced carbon footprints. The initiative is more than a program—it’s a movement toward a resilient future, aligning with global Net Zero 2050 objectives and fostering a culture of sustainable growth and environmental responsibility. By focusing on renewable energy integration, low-carbon materials, and optimised building operations, the DBI is setting new standards for eco-friendly design and construction, ensuring that the buildings of tomorrow are as green as they are groundbreaking.
