Yesterday morning, we asked the question ‘can you really do more with less stuff in workplaces?’ during a co-hosted a breakfast seminar with SPACE on workplace sustainability from a right-sizing and materials perspective. Presenting in Insights' Dundee office, which is a stellar example of how three buildings can become two without compromising on sustainability or workplace environment. Sophie Simpson shared the plans for our new Edinburgh office, focusing on the importance of adhering to the circular economy principles, the net zero targets set by the Scottish Government, and best practices in decarbonising fit-outs.   Thank you to everyone who was able to join us, and a special thank you to Chris Carr for co-presenting, Stephanie Stonebridge for hosting us, and Phil Muir for chairing the Q&A. We were delighted to receive so many insightful questions which helped answered the all-important question – yes, you really can do more with less! #Workplace #Rightsizing #ScottishNetZeroTargets #Retrofitting

Kurraba Group’s Life Sciences Campus is designed to meet the growing demand for laboratories and research facilities for Australia’s emerging life sciences sector.   Our #Sustainability team has been providing advisory support since the concept design phase. We helped inform the competitive design competition, developed the sustainability strategy, and provided sustainable design advice and reporting for the project’s planning application.   Hannah Morton, Sustainability Associate Director, said: “The campus’ vision fuses innovative architecture, Indigenous wisdom, and sustainability, all while providing a platform for advancing the next generation of scientific discoveries.”   Learn more about Australia’s first commercial life sciences campus: https://lnkd.in/eWmCAAaa #LifeSciences #Innovation #SustainableDesign 

Calum Perey, Principal Engineer at Cundall and co-leader of the IStructE UAE carbon study group, will be presenting the initial findings of a groundbreaking multi-year project on embodied carbon in UAE buildings at the ACI Middle East Concrete Conference. In this presentation, Building a Carbon Benchmark – Assessing Embodied Carbon in UAE Structures, Calum will share key insights from surveying 50 buildings, laying the groundwork for the UAE’s first carbon benchmark database. This research is pivotal in supporting the UAE’s Net Zero ambitions and fostering collaboration across the construction industry to reduce carbon footprints and drive sustainable development. If you’re attending the conference, join this session to learn more and see how you contribute to this vital initiative! 🌱 #Sustainability #CarbonFootprint #UAE #NetZero #EmbodiedCarbon #IStructE 

Following the UK government's 2024 Autumn Statement, the science and technology sector has plenty to be cheerful about. With serious investment and funding in line for the sector, growth opportunities are imminent. But what do developers think about opportunities for growth within this sector? In his latest blog, Peter Stocks investigates the UK development equation for science and technology.

Last week, Yvonne McNally and Simon Wyatt hosted a lunchtime seminar in Belfast discussing the pilot version of the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard. Having contributed to the standard along with others within Cundall, Simon discussed the standard, outlined set targets, and the impact it will have on design teams and projects across Northern Ireland.   As a robust industry-backed initiative, the Standard presents itself as a handbook for policymakers, outlining what is needed to support the UK’s net zero carbon transition.   Thank you to everyone who joined us, it was inspiring to see that our industry wants to understand how they can contribute towards net zero carbon design and build sustainable projects.   #UKNZCBS #newindustrystandard
