Ecological Building Network, based in San Rafael, CA, is a collaborative group of engineers, builders, and architects dedicated to developing and promoting sustainable and low-carbon building practices. With over 22 years of experience, they provide valuable information and resources to individuals and professionals involved in various building projects worldwide, from straw bale houses in Argentina to concrete office structures in Sacramento. Their mission is to reduce the negative environmental impacts of buildings while prioritizing health and safety.
Through their educational materials and publications, such as the book "Build Beyond Zero," Ecological Building Network offers innovative solutions and insights on carbon-smart architecture, emphasizing the importance of materials like wood, cement, and plastics in meeting climate goals. They have also made significant contributions to the development of low-carbon concrete codes and have engaged in discussions with industry experts on embodied carbon in buildings. Committed to community engagement, they encourage contributions to their user-built library, the BuildWell Source, and rely on donations to support their work.
