This could be huge step towards reducing our carbon footprint, but there's still a long way to go 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e7_wFfi4 #constructionconsulting #connectshareachieve #quantitysurveying #commercialmanagement #designmanagement #contractorsupport #construction

🌍 Embracing Sustainability in Engineering 🌍 As a civil engineer, I am constantly reminded of the impact our projects have on the environment. Incorporating sustainability into our engineering practices isn't just a trend; it's a necessity for the future. By integrating green building techniques and sustainable materials, we can create infrastructure that stands the test of time and minimizes environmental impact. For example, utilizing recycled materials, implementing renewable energy systems, and designing with energy efficiency in mind are just a few ways we can promote sustainability in our projects. Additionally, adopting practices such as green roofs and rainwater harvesting can significantly reduce our ecological footprint. From energy-efficient designs to innovative water management systems, our commitment to sustainability can drive significant positive change. Let’s continue to innovate and push the boundaries of what’s possible in sustainable engineering. #Sustainability #CivilEngineering #GreenBuilding #FutureOfConstruction Sources: U.S. Green Building Council Sustainable Development Goals – United Nations

Exited to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Infrastructure LCA Online course from One Click LCA! Highlights: - An industry benchmark for calculating carbon emissions from construction activities for rail projects is 700 kgCO2e per £100,000. - One Click LCA supports Revit, Bentley iTwin, and CIVIL3D. - 92% of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can impact the infrastructure sector. - Construction is responsible for 40% of global carbon emissions, 50% of extracted materials, and 33% of water consumption, among other things. #sustainability #LCA #OneClickLCA #SDG #Carbon #Emissions #Infrastructure #materials #GreenBuilding #EcoFriendly #ClimateAction #CircularEconomy #GreenConstruction #NetZero #SustainableDevelopment #EnvironmentalImpact #LowCarbon #SustainableInfrastructure #EcoInnovation #BuildingSustainably

Are virtual site visits the key to a net zero construction sector? 🏗️ New research reveals construction, engineering, and property business leaders believe technology can help reduce emissions, but adoption of useful solutions is disproportionately low. Check out this article by ECD (Electrical + Comms + Data) to learn more about the barriers identified in our new white paper "Decarbonising Australia's Built World with Technology" towards adopting tech that can help decarbonisation, and practical recommendations for reducing emissions.

In an industry with a significant environmental footprint today, construction and engineering is driven to look towards more circular and sustainable approaches to find a balance between economic growth, environmental care, and social well-being in our race to net-zero. https://lnkd.in/ey2u7uZ2

When calculating whole life carbon emissions of buildings, are the methods we use accurate? Liam Bryant of Webb Yates Engineers says under current calculations "Only construction carbon is guaranteed, whereas operational carbon is a guess stretching into the future." In this article, he considers how we might measure things differently
