Why Net-Zero in Architecture is a Fantasy

Ғылым және технология

Architects love the latest buzz words. Net-zero has become one of them. Architects have latched onto this word and have tried to repurpose it for ‘green’ building construction. Unfortunately, all forms of modern building construction require carbon emissions. Buckminster Fuller famously said, ‘how much does your building weigh?’. A question in our age of climate change would be, “how many tons of carbon dioxide does your building put into the atmosphere?”.

    Well Done Jamie. My professor had the exact same opinion on the subject matter. I am looking forward to your videos.

    Of course, it's all about business profiting, control of resources and taxation. "Archistars" are just jumping on the gravy train, as always

    This is a very negativistic view on every single thing possible. He is even negative about the idea of just planting trees. Think about the fact that we have destroyed so much of the land with concrete, simply planting trees learning to walk instead of running bike and ride, and not giving a fuck about what the GDP will be a economy is the best solution.

    I fully support sustainable or green architecture, but unfortunately I think Net-Zero is a fallacy and marketing gimmick. In California architects must take classes on Net-Zero architecture in order to maintain their license. This is unfortunate as Net-Zero buildings in its broadest definition is not possible.

    I'm not going to lie I kinda stopped caring what you said after you brought up marxism. A lot of what you said in your video was actually really informative and worth taking into consideration. However, the moment you went anti-marxist (keep in mind I'm a staunch capitalist), it made me feel like you weren't trying to teach anything and were trying to propogate anti-liberal propaganda. If you want to inform us that's good, but using anti-marxist talking points makes it feel like you're just another anti-woke grifter trying to capture an audience through fear mongering, like those alpha youtube channels that regurgitate dumb talking points. Not saying anything in this video was wrong, but it would be easier to listen to and view as credible, if you stopped using communism as the villain of your videos. The real villain is bad bureaucracy, I'd rather hear more about that than beating a dead horse of an ideology that's completely irrelevant in the modern day.

    Unfortunately I agree this video did not age well. I try not to be political and create evergreen content, but this topic was overtaken by events. A year after I published this video, the State of California Architect's Board issued a requirement for continuing education classes in 'Net-Zero' for license renewal. Not 'sustainable design', 'green design', or 'resilient design' which I strongly believe in, but specifically 'Net-Zero' which I do not. I'll probably do another video on sustainable design in the future and try to keep it free from ideology.
