Gaia Human Capital’s Representative Clients in Built Environment & Real Estate

The built environment is one of the leading drivers of climate change, currently responsible for almost 40% of global energy and process-related CO2 emissions.

Gaia Human Capital partners with clients across that full life cycle to bring sustainable solutions to the built environment and real estate across individual, local and state levels.

Central to these efforts is achieving net-zero for entire buildings across their full life cycle.

“The buildings that we live and work in are responsible for approximately 40 percent of total global direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions.

Making changes to how and what we build is one of our most effective tools for mitigating and adapting to climate change and places a great responsibility on the built environment industry. This is a responsibility we earnestly accept.” (ASHRAE, COP27)
