Mike K. posted topic Highrises consumer more energy than other forms of housing

lpoutine,

Mike K. has just posted a new topic entitled "Highrises consumer more energy than other forms of housing" in forum "Urban Design".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I recall one member of this forum leaving, when we had an exchange about this very subject.

It takes huge amounts of energy to sustain homes in highrise buildings.

But taller and denser isn't necessarily better for the environment, according to a new study published in the journal npj Urban Sustainability. By studying the full lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of urban development—from the production and transportation of the building materials to the energy required to use and live in buildings over time—an international team of researchers has found that high-rise cities are actually producing more total emissions than shorter, but still dense, urban areas.
