I was recently lucky enough to be able to look into and talk about the effects of Embodied Carbon 🏗️Vs. Operational Carbon 💡and the way in which we as Structure engineers can help our clients to reduce carbon🍃 I would really appreciate it if you could take 10mins out of your day to have a read of my blog and hopefully, gain some key learnings and insight into changing mindsets in the way in which we act now to reduce carbon 🌍 If you have any questions or are interested in what what Superstructures offer in aiding sustainable design, please feel free to get in touch. 📞✉️ #sustainability #embodiedcarbon #operationalcarbon #structuralengineer #architecture #mechanicalandelectrical #changingmindsets #collaboration

The construction industry is responsible for around 60% of the UK's total waste 🏗️ To address this environmental challenge, many organisations are focusing on reducing embodied and operational carbon. In our latest blog, Holly Peirson discusses these critical issues and explores strategies for minimising carbon emissions in the construction sector.

🌱 Embracing Sustainability in Construction 🌱 As we strive for a more sustainable future, the construction industry plays a pivotal role in reducing its environmental footprint. Here are some key sustainable practices that are reshaping the way we build: • Green Building Materials • Energy-Efficient Design • Renewable Energy Integration • Water Conservation Measures • Waste Reduction and Recycling • Community Engagement #sustainableconstruction #sustainablebuildings #renovations #wastereduction #energysaving #thesundaypost

🌿 Embracing Sustainability in Construction: Our Commitment to the Future 🌿 In an era where sustainability is not just a choice but a necessity, we are proud to lead the way in integrating green building practices into our construction projects. Our commitment goes beyond compliance with environmental regulations – we aim to positively impact our planet and communities by pioneering sustainable construction methods. From utilizing eco-friendly materials and renewable energy sources to implementing waste reduction techniques and water conservation measures, our approach is holistic and future-focused. These initiatives not only minimize environmental impact but also enhance the efficiency, durability, and value of our projects. Join us as we embrace this exciting journey towards a greener future, one project at a time. Together, we can build a legacy that benefits our planet and future generations. #SustainableConstruction #GreenBuilding #EcoFriendlyInnovation

During the life cycle of a building, its water consumption has a significant ecological impact💧 Since we are very much concerned about the environmental footprint of the building sector, we pay particular attention in each of our (re)development projects to incorporating: 🔹 rainwater recovery systems; 🔹 stormwater retention systems; 🔹 greywater recycling systems; 🔹 leak detection; 🔹 low-consumption appliances. We also follow guidelines provided by the BREEAM framework, EU Taxonomy requirements, and our in-house quality standards. In some projects, such as ZIN in BXNord, we will make the water from the groundwater drawdown available to public stakeholders. This permanently available water can be used for watering or cleaning public spaces. In this way, we intend to participate in the integration of our projects into the city and to reduce their impact on society 🏙️💧 👉 Find out more in our ESG report (page 52): https://lnkd.in/ewj5KJwe #buildinglifecycle #buildingsector #waterprotection #environmentalfootprint #BREEAM #ESG #sustainability #ZIN #realestatebelgium #Befimmo

♻️Building a Better Future thru Circular Construction Canada’s construction industry is evolving, embracing circular practices to reduce waste and protect the environment. Sustainable materials mean less waste, fewer emissions, and a brighter future for the industry and our communities. 💙Together, we can build a greener future in BC. #CircularConstruction #SustainableBuilding #EPGPacific #HDPERecycling

In a time where construction and infrastructure contribute to over 40% of global emissions, green solutions are no longer optional – they are essential. We are committed to helping our customers in hitting global emission targets by 2030. Our extensive selection of Green Building Solutions coatings includes over 380 Environmental Product Declarations, which improve and protect buildings and allow them to get closer to becoming certified as green buildings.

In railroad engineering and construction, material choices matter. At 360 Rail Services, we prioritize recycled commodities and responsibly sourced timber. Every decision aligns with our goal of environmental health.

What is 'embodied carbon' in a building? 🏢 🟢 Embodied carbon refers to the CO2 emissions associated with a building material or construction process. 🟢 It accounts for greenhouse gas emissions before a building becomes operational and after it stops being used, including demolition and recycling. 🟢 As the focus shifts from just operational carbon to a building's total carbon footprint, understanding and calculating embodied carbon is becoming increasingly important for sustainable construction decisions.
