These included things such as names, addresses and locations, although specifics weren’t included as the work was still pre proof of concept..

It’s positive that individual institutions are there to provide very detailed guidance for specific consultants and professionals, but we also need to have an overarching look at where the industry is heading as a whole.. LETI and Design for net zero carbon.Last year LETI published some of the first documents offering advice on designing for net-zero carbon: The Climate Emergency Design Guide, and The Embodied Carbon Primer.

A voluntary organisation made up of hundreds of professionals, LETI aims to share and collate knowledge in order to improve the way buildings are designed.Bryden Wood’s Head of Sustainability, Helen Hough, has been leading the embodied carbon workstream for the past year.There are now six sub-workstreams within it.

Each one is looking at different aspects of embodied carbon: the importance of whole-life carbon, benchmarking, the collection of case studies, etc.The aim is to gather knowledge and offer industry advice.. As part of this effort, some data has been published on the Landsec/Bryden Wood project, the Forge.

This ground-breaking P-DfMA office building project is currently being delivered on-site in London, featuring an almost 20% reduction in embodied carbon.

It’s a fantastic achievement, and because The Forge is a Platforms construction project, we’ll be able to take what we’ve learned to create further benefits on future projects.. With the Forge, we’ve been able to prototype the project in advance of it going on-site.With an attendee list of approximately 1,200 individuals, this event is a hive of opportunity.

The multi-day event covers diverse tracks, including 'The Owner's Playbook', 'Prefabrication and Facilities', 'Building Information and Digital Workflows', and many more.Last year also saw the introduction of the 'Market Application Day', offering insights into various construction sectors like hospitals, manufacturing and data centres.. 2.

Exhibition hall a glimpse into real-world solutions.While futuristic tech and innovations are always exciting, the event's exhibition hall sets itself apart by focusing on practical, current technology for the construction industry.
