Creating a circular economy is imperative for the built environment. Arup materials experts have for many years been committed to exploring materials that reduce the carbon costs of building projects and structures, through their reuse, recycling and research and innovation. In a new short video, I show how glass from a demolished double-glazed unit can be recovered, cleaned up, and reused in a relatively simple but highly effective way. The production engineering skill set has always been about putting things together cheaply and efficiently. Now, production engineering must expand rapidly into taking things apart, so that the materials from buildings can be given a new life and we achieve a circular economy. Our choice of materials determines the lifespan of an asset and the ability to reuse or recycle its parts. At Arup, we think about how things are made, what they are made from, and then what happens to those materials, to ultimately help us choose the right materials for sustainable development. You can watch the full video on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/e458kKRt.

This time last week, I was at the #NbSConferenceOxford, together with Arup colleagues and an incredible community of delegates and speakers, all approaching Nature-based Solutions from diverse backgrounds, parts of our world, as well as academic and practical perspectives. A week on, reflecting on what I learnt and continue to learn, some of the many takeaways for me were: 🌱 The need for governance that fosters #collectiveresponsibility and actions that tangibly lead to improved social and ecological well-being. Unai Pascual 🌱 'Value Pluralism', a new concept to me, speaks to acknowledging and bringing in the breadth of worldviews on human-nature relations - we have a value crisis? https://lnkd.in/g-EGniEv 🌱 Working within the (economic and financial) systems we have now is still valuable; the Green Finance Institute-led report makes it clear that we are 'sitting on a systemic risk we don't know much about'. Increased regulated disclosure on nature-related financial risk could prove a pathway for achieving nature-positive outcomes, if identified mitigation measures are effectively measured and monitored. https://lnkd.in/g2SGQa5E 🌱 'It all comes back to water'; bringing biodiversity into the centre of the Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) model, and reconsidering our relationship with water as the most universally essential thing to life. 🌱 The health benefits of seeing, smelling, hearing and touching 'nature' are very real! And to state the seemingly obvious, we are therefore experiencing real health detriments simply by excluding the natural environment from our daily lives, and the design of our living spaces. Thanks to all of the Speakers and the Team at Nature-Based Solutions Initiative for an incredibly immersive and informative few days. #growingpositivechange #Water #Sustainability #nature #naturefinance #WeAreArup Dr Alexander Nicholson Lauren Dann Louise Bingham Josie Osborne SCALGO/Arup NatureInsight Tool (today's webinar link): https://lnkd.in/gaFgh2QA Arup Nature insights: https://lnkd.in/grDWytmK Arup Water projects: https://lnkd.in/gCuiJK3b

This is a question I've wanted an answer to. The Envision framework and the LEED framework working together.
Question: Can LEED and Envision work in tandem on projects? You bet. And the most prominent example to date recently is LaGuardia Airport's New Terminal B. Winner of these designations, among several others: LEED v4 Gold Certification (US Green Building Council) Envision v3 Platinum (Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure) Have a look at this announcement from June: https://lnkd.in/gk-QEfQx

Today we are excited to share the second of our thirteen intervention points in focus, as a result of our systems intervention point research in collaboration with ULI Europe: #02 Intervention Point: Tenant and Landlord alignment. This intervention point highlights the crucial importance of aligning the goals and aspirations of both landlords and tenants in the journey towards decarbonization. By fostering strong collaboration and shared objectives, the real estate industry can effectively address scope three emissions from occupied spaces, which represent a significant portion of global carbon emissions within the built environment. This deep dive series into the 13 most critical intervention points to help transition the built environment to net zero in Europe, were authored by Valentin Wiesner, our in-house specialist. Each intervention provides vital context and rationale for the intervention, what is happening right now, possible next steps and how to get involved. A big thanks to the team and technical advisors that made it happen Valentin Wiesner, Kate Wolfenden, Suzy Glass, Andrea Carpenter, Roland Hunziker, Luca De Giovanetti, Sarah Dominey MRICS, James Hooton Also tagging the leading organisations we have cited in these papers to showcase their work Better Buildings Partnership For a deeper dive into any of these interventions, please visit https://lnkd.in/dd2dkXh5 or get in touch with the 103 team, via mauro@103.ventures Lewis Howard, James MacPherson, PhD, Gemma John, PhD, Maya Færch, Jeremy Gorelick, Mauro Silva
