Building A Sustainable Net Zero Future
As cities pursue ambitious net zero goals, addressing embodied carbon — the emissions tied to building materials — is essential for meaningful progress. Low embodied carbon materials, like Glavel’s foam glass gravel, bridge the gap between policy and impact by reducing upfront emissions, enhancing durability, and aligning with circular economy principles. Discover how sustainable materials can transform cities into models for a low-carbon future.
Building Resilience
Breaking the carbon cycle in construction is key to building climate-resilient communities, requiring a shift to low embodied carbon materials and electrified manufacturing to combat climate change.
Achieving Passive House Standards with Foam Glass Gravel
Foam glass gravel aligns with Passive House principles; its thermal insulation, durability, and recycled content make it an excellent choice for underslab insulation in high performance buildings.
Glavel as a Subslab Insulator
