The feasibility for implementation of carbon-sink and low-carbon building materials and products is high. It is often dependent on architects’ willingness to design and specify such products, and on building developers’ acceptance. It also hinges on the local availability of the products. Four key success factors that facilitate such actions include: General awareness, which can be built through public education campaigns, professional development programmes for building and construction professionals and developers, and supported by demonstration projects. Local availability of the materials and products. An enabling mechanism is important to create the market and facilitate the development of the local building material industry. These materials and products should also be constantly upgraded to be technologically sound and cost effective. Institutional support plays an important role in fostering the recognition, development, and implementation of carbon-sink and low-carbon building materials and products. One of the most effective tools is green labelling and carbon labelling schemes coupled with certification programs for building materials and products. These labelling schemes can be set up by government agencies or reputable NGOs. Capacity building is a useful way of updating local professional and technical work forces about existing and new carbon-sink and low-carbon building materials and products. Research and development. One of the most effective forms of collaboration are targeted research and development programs between universities, industry and government agencies. The objectives are to identify and develop new potential carbon-sink materials and products, and their innovative applications.
