We're back with our latest episode in our Engineering I.V. video series, where we explore engineering innovations. Check out Principal Russell Knudson PE, LEED AP explain decarbonization and how HGA is helping our clients and industry innovate toward a more sustainable future. #EngineeringInnovations #decarbonization

Graphene can be added to concrete to improve its strength, durability, and fire resistance. It can also be added to steel to improve its strength and corrosion resistance. And it can be added to asphalt to improve its strength, durability, and resistance to water damage. #construction #civil #concrete #steel #graphene #infrastructure #environment

CIBSE unveils "Building Performance Reimagined" project: Pioneering a future-focused approach to building engineering CIBSE has launched a groundbreaking initiative titled Building Performance Reimagined, a visionary project aimed at transforming the landscape of building engineering and sustainability. Commissioned by CIBSE and researched by Arup, the Building Performance Reimagined project diverges from conventional engineering paradigms. Rather than focusing solely on system sizing, maintenance or controls, the initiative takes a holistic, future-oriented perspective on building performance. At its core, Building Performance Reimagined seeks to redefine the parameters of traditional engineering practices and equip CIBSE members with the tools to meet future challenges head-on. The project explores the dynamic and evolving nature of building performance, going beyond energy efficiency and carbon reduction to consider broader forms of value within the built environment. The theme of "Building Performance Reimagined" was also central to the Presidential Address of CIBSE's new President, Fiona Cousins. In her address, President Cousins emphasised the importance of embracing future-focused approaches and reimagining building performance to meet evolving societal and environmental needs. The report introduces four pivotal performance metrics designed to guide the industry towards enhanced health and resilience: Variety: Optimising building services to promote space efficiency, adaptability and user diversity. https://lnkd.in/e3Kr9DeS

Engineering Excellence: Constructing Long-Lasting BTS Towers with a 20-Year Lifespan Through Sustainable Design and ESG Integration

ESG and sustainability are quickly becoming defining characteristics of construction, as regulations and client expectations continue their transition into industry standards. At our upcoming Construction Tech Conference in Chicago, being held at the iconic Willis Tower, both topics will be front in center, with Tyler Sewall, senior director of research for BuiltWorlds, leading experts from Graycor, Logistics Property Company, LLC, Krueck Sexton Partners, JLL, and Qualis Flow (Qflow) in a discussion about the best methods and technologies for tracking and optimizing ESG and sustainability processes on jobsites and across construction projects. Attendees will gain actionable insights into driving sustainability initiatives that not only meet regulatory standards but also enhance the overall value and reputation of their firms. In an increasingly competitive and sophisticated AEC industry, companies can't afford to fall behind the innovations pushing everyone else forward. Register for the 2024 Construction Conference today and begin equipping yourself with the network and know-how to compete in the modern age: https://lnkd.in/gWjajxKV
