Canadian Start-Up’s Eco-friendly Cement Alternative
Canadian green start-up Nexii Buildings Solutions Inc. believes they have a solution to the carbon emission problem in construction. Its product Nexiite, a proprietary material that allows for rapid construction, is a near-zero carbon alternative to cement, a highly carbon-intensive material. Greenhouse gas emissions are a big issue in construction. The 2019 Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction found that 39% of carbon emissions in 2018 came from buildings and construction, 11% came from manufacturing materials such as steel, glass, and cement. Nexii CEO Stephen Sidwell tells ABC Audio there needs to be a new way of constructing buildings to help slow climate change and support a growing population around the world.  “All the buildings on the planet are expected to double in the next 40 years. That’s the equivalent of a New York City being built every month for the next 40 years,” said Sidwell. Nexii’s goal is to build near net-zero or net-zero buildings, meaning the buildings will produce as much or nearly as much energy as it uses each year. The company can build brand new buildings or do retrofits of existing ones. To date, they have completed 10 buildings, including retrofits.  The product is manufactured off-site, then shipped to the building site leading to faster building times “Our price is going to be the same as traditional building materials, but our speed of build is roughly seventy-five percent faster than traditional building systems. The developer would be able to save all of those financing costs, the overhead costs, the insurance costs. Overall, it is more affordable,” said Sidwell.
