Great news! The EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive has been adopted and published in the EU journal. What does this mean for EU building stock? ✔️New buildings will have to be net-zero by 2030. ✔️Existing buildings must reach a certain level of energy performance through renovation. ✔️Improvement and access to data sharing on a buildings’ performance. ✔️Incentives to deploy digital solutions, including building modeling and simulation technologies to improve planning, designing, building, and renovations. The next two years are an opportunity for EU countries to create a more resilient and sustainable built environment with the help of technology solutions. Learn more about the directive at https://bit.ly/3yovEB3. At Autodesk, we’ll be working with the EuroACE - Energy Efficient Buildings, BPIE - Buildings Performance Institute Europe, and others to support implementation. Together we can design and make a better world for all! #AEC #Sustainability #Software #AEC

When tackling complex emissions challenges, size matters. Small engineering design firms offer a unique advantage: agility, deep expertise, and a personalised approach. By partnering with a smaller team, you get direct access to decision-makers and passionate engineers dedicated to your cause. Our collaborative approach fosters open communication, shared goals, and measurable results. Ready to make a significant impact on your emissions?  Let's connect and explore how we can support you on that mission. #Scope3 #sustainability #engineeringdesign #smallbusiness #climatechange #emissionsreduction #greenbusiness

This advanced level on demand course by Aditi Agarwal and David Heinzerling, PE covers the holistic carbon profile of the built environment and the cutting-edge tools, processes, and case studies that design teams can use to design to decarbonize their projects. This course will help owners, designers, and engineers make decisions to minimize their buildings’ GHG emissions. https://lnkd.in/gyf9Eb2c #Decarbonize #CarbonReduction #OnlineLearning #PGEEnergyCenters

📹 Have you seen our YouTube videos yet? If you’re keen on reducing the built environment's carbon footprint and are searching for great content, our YouTube channel is your go-to resource! We focus on the critical areas of the embodied and whole life carbon (WLC) impact of the built environment, including key insights and solutions into reducing the WLC impact of designs through our Preoptima CONCEPT platform. ⭐ Discover on Our Channel: ❓ 'Building LCA: Who is Responsible?' - Hear from industry experts about who they think should ultimately be responsible for reporting, compliance, and performance around carbon in the built environment. 🏗 'How Much Carbon Can We Save by Optioneering the Structural Grid?' - Learn about how structural grid sizing can affect the embodied carbon impact of your building, as well as how to optimise for both structural requirements and carbon. 💡 'Carbon Avoidance in Conceptual Design' - See how early-stage intervention is essential in preventing carbon lock-ins and achieving a low-carbon or Net Zero as-built building. And so much more! 👉 Dive into our channel here: https://lnkd.in/gAXg2iVW #YouTube #SustainableDesign #EmbodiedCarbon #WholeLifeCarbon #AEC #CarbonEducation

"Calculating carbon does not produce low-carbon solutions in of itself, but it does change our understanding as to whether or not a design is 'good'." Ruth Eve revisits a previous project to examine the net-zero design practices and where carbon savings could have been made in #TheStructuralEngineer: https://ow.ly/zuMn50UCrJw
