Most Green Buildings Aren’t Actually Carbon-Neutral, Experts Say. Many net zero homes under construction now aren’t even close to being carbon neutral, experts say, but by accounting for embodied carbon in building materials and being accountable for that pollution, builders can raise the bar for green building strategies of the future.

Timber: This is the most common material used for bracing members to the form face. It is easily cut to shape on site, and if handled and stored carefully, it can be used many times. However, if the formwork is curved, a thinner plywood is used to facilitate bending. Like plywood, it can be easily cut to size on site.
