Sustainable design for the laboratory space that is building the sustainable technologies of the future.

Fascinating discussion on the rise of Passive House in Ireland! Caroline Ashe Brady (Director, KORE Insulation & KORE Retrofit) and Helena McElmeel (Principal, Helena McElmeel Architects) explored the growing adoption of energy-efficient housing and its impact on sustainable construction practices. #CIFConference24

Stood in awe at the Pantheon today! 🏛️ Did you know it's almost 2,000 years old and still holds the record for the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome? A true testament to Roman engineering genius and a blend of beauty and precision. Why did the Romans excel in construction compared to modern methods? 🤔 Their structures were not only innovative but built to last for millennia. As I wandered through the streets of Rome, surrounded by history, three critical questions came to mind: Developers: Are your projects designed to endure through generations? General Contractors: Are you upholding top-notch construction practices, or are there compromises? Subcontractors: Is your craftsmanship contributing to lasting legacies? Let's reflect on how we can match or even surpass those ancient benchmarks in our current projects. #Engineering #ConstructionExcellence #HistoricalArchitecture #BuildingLegacy What do you think makes the difference in building structures that stand the test of time? Let's discuss! 🚀

It was really great to address the Construction Industry Federation (CIF) #conference 2024 to with Helena McElmeel. We talked about the drivers behind the rise of Passive house in Ireland and how far the industry has come in gearing up to deliver zero energy buildings.

Timber is a key modern construction material and its recent revival on the back of increased sustainability awareness can help designers and clients reduce embodied carbon emissions for our built environment interventions. With the current challenges the industry faces with insurers, it is important to learn how to navigate around the design issues and how to detail structures well to improve their performance and reassure insurers and clients.   This CPD will explain our role as structural engineers in designing timber buildings for fire and how we collaborate with other consultants to successfully deliver timber developments. We will also discuss structural fire safety objectives and how they can be achieved.   Connections are an essential part of timber design and we will outline some points of good practice for connection design in fire. The case studies highlighted illustrate how some fire design concepts impact real-life structural proposals.   Come and join the discussion!
