On his first day in office President Trump axed the Biden-era federal Buy Clean<\/a> program. Buy Clean was designed to leverage the federal government\u2019s buying power to help grow the low carbon building materials industry. Killing it will have consequences\u2014buildings are responsible for a major share of global carbon dioxide emissions, and around half<\/a> of those emissions come from producing and transporting the materials that go into them\u2014but it does not spell the end for policy supporting low carbon construction.<\/p>\n

Low carbon buildings are ones that use construction materials produced and transported with lower greenhouse gas emissions than traditional materials, that are designed to use less material overall, that use recycled components, or that are retrofits of existing buildings obviating the need for new construction material altogether. The Buy Clean program, created by President Biden in an Executive Order<\/a>, broadly sought to catalyze the development of low carbon buildings. President Biden\u2019s Executive Order directed the Federal Government to \u201cuse its scale and procurement power to achieve \u2026 net-zero emissions from Federal Procurement, including a Buy Clean policy to promote use of construction materials with lower embodied emissions.\u201d The goal was not just to reduce federal buildings\u2019 impacts, but to stimulate the low carbon construction materials industry and develop techniques that the private sector, states, and cities could borrow to use less material in construction.<\/p>\n

President Trump\u2019s Executive Order<\/a> rescinded Biden\u2019s wholesale, but added that \u201cagencies shall prioritize cost-effectiveness, American workers and businesses, and the sensible use of taxpayer money.\u201d If agencies are going to do so, they should continue to Buy Clean.<\/p>\n

Low carbon buildings are good business. Embodied carbon in materials makes up the lion\u2019s share of emissions attributable to development through its supply chain. Reducing up-front carbon can cost little to no more than other approaches\u2014a recent RMI report<\/a> found ways to reduce projects\u2019 initial embodied carbon by almost half for less than 1% extra cost. Doing so, as well as designing to reduce the quantity of materials used and prioritizing retrofitting over new construction<\/a>, greatly reduces total emissions and cuts construction costs. That also lessens the emissions that need to be reported through embodied carbon disclosure laws like those in place in the California, Oregon, and Washington, and lessens the emissions to be reported under more general climate disclosure laws like California\u2019s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In part because of the successes that the Buy Clean program had, there is a still-growing industry around low carbon buildings and a set of tools that agencies can tap into to continue Buying Clean. The program was the impetus for the first nationally-applicable lower-carbon standards<\/a> for concrete and asphalt from the General Services Administration; the Federal Highway Administration\u2019s $1.2 billion in awards<\/a> to facilitate using low carbon materials on Federal-aid infrastructure projects; and the Department of Energy\u2019s Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap<\/a>. In addition, the Buy Clean program advanced efforts<\/a> to measure buildings\u2019 lifecycle carbon impacts, to reduce embodied carbon in overseas construction projects, and to support research into biomaterials with lower carbon intensity. These are tools that the private sector, states, cities, and government agencies in future administrations can pick up and run with.<\/p>\n

States are already building on those successes and will continue their leading role in this space. Under the Buy Clean California Act<\/a>, the State of California and its universities are required to purchase materials with embodied carbon below set limits. Similarly, Washington\u2019s Buy Clean and Buy Fair<\/a> law requires state entities to obtain and make publicly available declarations about the embodied carbon in the construction materials they are purchasing. Oregon\u2019s Buy Clean law<\/a> requires the state\u2019s Department of Transportation to develop a program to study materials\u2019 embodied carbon by the end of this year. Those efforts are not only driving change in their states but are also providing models to facilitate additional states\u2019 following suit.<\/p>\n

On top of those individual efforts, multistate partnerships have sprung up to further facilitate information sharing and make it easier for additional states to adopt their own Buy Clean policies. Regional efforts, like the Pacific Coast Collaborative<\/a>, are bringing together states and cities to coordinate efforts at building regional demand for low carbon materials. And the Biden Administration\u2019s Buy Clean program launched a Federal-State Buy Clean Partnership through which states could collaborate with each other and send a consistent message to the marketplace. Though the federal program has been terminated, the state partnership lives on as the State Buy Clean Partnership<\/a>, now run by the nonprofit U.S. Climate Alliance.<\/p>\n

Rescinding the federal Buy Clean program is a setback for low carbon buildings but building in ways that meet prevailing embodied carbon standards\u2014or not building at all, and instead retrofitting existing buildings\u2014are still smart ways to cut costs. In other words, low carbon construction is consistent with the current edict that federal agencies \u201cprioritize cost-effectiveness \u2026 and the sensible use of taxpayer money.\u201d\u00a0 In addition, low carbon construction materials continue to be required by a growing cadre of states. And the reasons that private developers are moving in this direction remain strong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
