The Carbon Neutral Cities Alliance (CNCA) gathered some of the world’s most climate-ambitious cities that joined forces to reduce CO2 emissions associated with construction materials in their cities.

Recently they published the City Handbook for Carbon Neutral Buildings, in which CNCA and its partner cities herald the need for a paradigm shift in material selection towards low-carbon alternatives to traditional materials.

Among the Bio-based construction material cases is listed also the InnoRenew CoE building, which is the largest wooden building in Slovenia. Many natural materials have been incorporated into the building’s design, and many of the materials used are of local origin, like Istrian stone for the façade and exterior design and wood for furniture, interior design and lighting.

The City Handbook for Carbon Neutral Buildings is available to download online where you can read more about the bio-based constructed InnoRenew CoE building.
