Take a look at the report resulted from the initial follow up to the roundtable "Collaborative innovations for carbon reduction in precast concrete construction". PCE Limited and Kier Group brought together key industrial partners such as Arup, Mott MacDonald, Curtins, Forterra PLC, Akerlof, Techrete UK & Ireland, Accelar Limited, MPA Masonry, The Concrete Centre and MTC - Manufacturing Technology Centre. Only through collaboration we could reduce the environmental impact of construction sector and face the current challenges. #precastconcrete #innovation #sustainability #decarbonisation #precast #concrete #digitisation #wholelife

[#PointofView] 🏗️In construction, standards are an opportunity as much as a challenge. 🔁Standardisation, life cycle and decarbonisation: focus on the rules of the game in Constructing a Sustainable Future, the magazine for sustainable construction: https://lnkd.in/edxR6xfj

🌱🏗 Driving Change for a Greener Future 🏗🌍 Recently, PCE, Kier Group, and industry experts from across the built environment united to explore impactful ways to reduce embodied carbon in precast concrete - moving beyond siloed solutions to strategies that work across right across the value chain. We are delighted to share the initial follow up to this roundtable with a report that looks deeper into the carbon climate within construction. https://lnkd.in/e9CqD7gg Key recommendations from the report include: ✅ Decarbonisation sits on the agenda from the outset ✅ Simple carbon reduction rulesets across design ✅ Collaborative procurement for whole-life outcomes ✅ Challenging traditional practices ✅ Strengthening the decarbonisation evidence base ✅ Embracing digital innovation Collaboration is at the heart of meaningful progress. Together, we’re helping shape sustainable solutions for the built environment, and we aren’t stopping here!

We have developed a new module that allows CostOS users to estimate Carbon / CO2 Emissions & Embodied Carbon within their estimates. Knowing that we are heading towards an era where environmental protection enforcement will be imminent, estimating CO2 will play a major role in decision-making when it comes to selecting the most environmentally sustainable design scenario. We have developed a well-built feature that allows users to measure CO2 emission produced by the operation of construction equipment as well as the emmissions of resource transportation (Labor, Materials & Construction Equipment). We persuade you to explore CostOS's capabilities within this scope, let alone CostOS's already advanced estimating capabilities. Please visit our website (www.nomitech.com) and book a free demo. #CostOS #Costestimating #CO2 #Carbonemission #embodiedcarbon #Sustainability #CO2measurement #Costestimation #Digitaltransformation #Environmentalprotection

I just completed this exciting course on introduction to embodied carbon and LCA by One Click LCA ! Embodied carbon in construction is responsible for 11% of the total global carbon emission. To substantially decarbonise construction industry, we have to target reduction of embodied carbon in buildings. #decarbonisingbuildings #greenbuildings
