At WSP, we know that for our world to be more resilient tomorrow, we need to enact great changes today. Our sustainable building experts are looking beyond carbon neutrality, partnering with clients to identify holistic building strategies that remove more carbon from the atmosphere than they emit, actively reducing the 37% of global carbon emissions the built environment is estimated to produce. It's time to Break Through to Carbon Positive. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ddUS_8JZ #WeAreWSP #FutureReady #Buildings

What will it take to halve the carbon emissions generated by new and refurbished buildings over their whole lifespans? That is what the built environment sector is being asked to achieve by 2030. At COP26 in 2021, we pledged to complete whole life carbon assessments (WLCA) across our global portfolio of building design projects. Now, two years later, we're sharing the details of how we implemented this commitment and the lessons we have learned in a new case study report. Using our digital platform, Zero, we captured WLCA data for over 800 buildings across 30 countries in 2023. We hope our findings will help the built environment industry tackle the challenges of establishing the datasets needed to decarbonise property worldwide. It’s time to take climate action every day.

🌍 Happy Earth Day, Everyone! 🌱 Today, as we celebrate our beautiful planet, it's crucial to reflect on the actions we're taking to ensure its sustainability for generations to come. Are we truly considering the footprints we leave behind for the future? In the face of increasing demands in construction and the necessity to accommodate our growing population with essential infrastructure, it's imperative to ask ourselves: are we burdening our planet beyond its limits? At Beca, we've dedicated substantial time and effort to address this pressing issue. We've developed innovative digital solutions aimed at quantifying emissions associated with design models. These tools empower engineers to view projects through a sustainable lens, enabling them to make informed decisions during the design phase. By reducing emissions from the assets we design, build, and maintain, we're actively contributing to a healthier planet. Please read my article below published by Beca on this initiative Let's continue to strive for sustainability in all our endeavors. Together, we can make a difference.

When I started at Arup 10 years ago, and was first introduced to this idea of Sustainability, I often asked myself, how do I, as a Fire Protection Engineer have anything to contribute to this conversation. Over the years I've learned a number of ways I can impact sustainable outcomes on projects, and one of which is how much embodied carbon the fire suppression systems add to the overall quantity in a building. And that started from entering my own projects into Arup's Zero platform. “You can’t manage what you don’t measure.” If you'd like to learn more, follow the links below to download Arup's case study of our experience capturing Whole Life Carbon Assessment data for 800 of those projects in 2023.

🔍 It is estimated that over 99% of building projects worldwide do not calculate or report their carbon footprint. How can we change that? Arup's case study dives into the global effort to assess and reduce carbon emissions using whole life carbon (WLC) techniques and their digital platform, Zero. #Decarbonization #NetZero #ClimateAction

Q. What will drive new approaches to building design and asset management that will halve emissions from the built environment by 2030? A. Policy, standards, regulations, investors, statutory reporting all of which rely on measuring Whole Life Carbon (WLC) At COP26, Arup committed to assessing our global building design portfolio based on whole life carbon (WLC). Yesterday, we published a report sharing the insights we’ve gained from data from 800 projects using our digital platform Zero. More information and the link to the report below, and thanks to Nigel Tonks Erin McConahey, PE FASHRAE and Ian Lumsden for driving this agenda. #wearearup #wholelifecarbon #buildingdesign

Every week, the world constructs enough new buildings to create a city the size of Paris. However, the carbon impact of these structures remains largely unknown. It is estimated that over 99% of building projects worldwide do not calculate or report their carbon footprint. Without understanding this impact, we cannot effectively decarbonise the towns and cities we live in or meet the 1.5°C target set by the Paris Climate Accords. At COP26, we committed to assessing our global building design portfolio using whole life carbon (WLC) techniques. Since then, we’ve built an international dataset which includes 1,400 building design projects across 50 countries, enabling fact-based decisions to reduce emissions. Our WLC case study shares an exploration of our experience capturing data for 800 of those projects in 2023.
