The Built Environment accounts for almost 40% of global emissions. We’re working to get that down to Zero.
Buildings and cities have the potential to make the biggest impact in reducing carbon emissions globally, but the question many are struggling with is ‘how?’
This is why IES exists. To develop technology that can significantly reduce the impact that buildings and cities have on the environment by minimising energy use and making zero carbon targets achievable. By looking at buildings and cities as the integrated environments they are, we want to ensure everyone involved in the conception, design, management or use of any building, community or city can work together to leave our world in a much better state than we inherited it.
Meet the Front-Runners in the Race to Zero Energy Buildings
The transition to energy efficient, low carbon buildings isn’t just a goal – it’s a challenge our industry is tackling every single day. Meet the front-runners who are using IES technology to shape the future of sustainable building design and operation, pushing the boundaries of simulation to deliver the high performing buildings of the future.
