Low-carbon solutions for water infiltration in urban buildings under climate change
摘要
The world is facing a serious problem of water infiltration in buildings, which threatens urban safety and sustainability. Although building waterproofing engineering has made much progress, it remains largely experience-driven and cannot guarantee the reliability and low-carbon attributes of building waterproofing projects under climate change. As a result, the building waterproofing industry stands at a critical turning point, urgently needing innovations that prioritize both reliability and low-carbon emissions. This Perspective proposes a new strategy for sustainability-based building waterproofing design, explores future directions and provides low-carbon recommendations for policymakers, researchers, designers and technicians.
