Q1. Go to https://youtu.be/Q-oSaw1zKZc and watch the “Face It” webcast. Write a couple of ideas about what you think are most beneficial to adopt by the

construction industry to reduce its carbon footprint. What are the challenges you

think in order to implement those ideas? 50 Points

Q2. In what ways (and to whom) can the conventional approach to building be
