5t straw module curtain wall system that allows to cover facades up to 13 meters high with prefabricated elements. Is it hiding the concrete #embodiedcarbon or does it offset the emissions? #strawhouse #strawbuilding #wlc #architecture pailletech.be/actus/

The Tory government consulted on removing this restriction when it revised the #NPPF. They left it in.

They also consulted on the idea of mandatory assessments of #EmbodiedCarbon in building proposals. We offered evidence and methodology.
They left that out.

Now #Labour must bring this in. How else can they try to square 'build build build' with #NetZero carbon ?
They can't.

Dirty construction habits block path to truly climate-friendly buildings

Producing #construction materials for floors, walls and ceilings, their transport to building sites, renovation work and deconstruction all add to buildings' hefty climate footprint

I'm in #Boston 30/10 to 01/11 for kicking off a Global Building Data Initiative for reducing resource use and #embodiedcarbon. Still looking for ways to make good use of the time there. Open for ideas on where to go and whom to meet! Any suggestions?

They don't build 'em like that anymore. Too bad no one stepped up to renovate it and turn it into a cool mixed-use development. What a waste of all that #EmbodiedCarbon. #Urbanism

What would happen in #GreaterManchester if the spatial plan 'Places for Everyone' were to be implemented?
Could GM stay within its carbon budget?
Could it make a fair contribution to the nationally legislated net zero target?
We ran the numbers, trying our best to be fair and rigorous.
It's not a pretty picture.

Another one of our long reads, just last year we took a look at the deep #retrofit of a 1930s dwelling on the Hampshire coast. It provides a pitch-perfect example of how to transform old dwellings while preserving their original structure and minimising #EmbodiedCarbon utterly transforming the living space without the need for an extension, and creating a cosy home that uses two-thirds less energy than before.

Long overdue #introduction,

I’m a #structuralengineer and a #software developer. I tried to do both for 5+ years with an emphasis on #structural before deciding it would be a lot better for my career and happiness to focus on the #software.

I’m currently working as a #fullstackengineer. I also do contract work related to #sustainabledesign #embodiedcarbon #sustainability
