RegenBuild is a network building the digital commons to communicate, incentivise, value and fund regenerative action in the built environment.
Our mission is to align the AECO industry and build the commons to solve coordination problems and transition the built environment to a regenerative paradigm.
The construction industry is one of the highest contributors to climate change and resource consumption. It is responsible for around 40% of global carbon emissions, 30% of waste generation, and 20% of water consumption. These emissions arise from materials like cement, steel, and aluminium used in construction, as well as energy consumption for heating, cooling, and lighting in buildings and infrastructure. Additionally, materials used in building construction account for around 9% of overall energy-related CO2 emissions.
The industry is decentralised and lacks the internal feedback loops to incentivise and reward the stakeholders for having impact, pushing the status quo and becoming regenerative over time. We aim to tackle the underlying systemic issues that need to be addressed for a industry wide transformation.
We envision the following commons as a solution to transform the construction industry. They are immensely valuable to the industry as independent solutions but when they are combined into a coherent protocol, governed by the stakeholders while solving common industry issues, they amplify the value and impact for adjacent organisations dependant on our open source infrastructure.
Framework - Standard that pushes beyond the status quo and clearly communicates the project's goals and achievements with all stakeholders.
Platform - A dMRV platform with a unified workflow that connects experts and validators to holistically analyse and validate building performance through all phases of a project's lifecycle.
Protocol - A system to collectively own, operate and govern the commons that guide actions of all stakeholders and equitably distribute rewards based on contributions and impact of the project.
