The need for energy-efficient construction materials is becoming ever more urgent in #Japan, as newly released figures show that #emissions from buildings account for up to 40% of the country's total greenhouse gas emissions. Innovations in the green #construction space are creating more energy-efficient materials that not only reduce #energy but create energy too. They also benefit building users by lowering consumption rates and creating a comfortable indoor environment. These innovations are arriving at pace due to government support through subsidies and policy, which helps accelerate development. https://lnkd.in/e6cX_qmP
