PDF Technology, Design and Process Innovation in the Built Environment Peter Newton, Keith Douglas Hampson, Robin Drogemuller digsell https://lnkd.in/e7c4h4UF Buildings and infrastructure represent principal assets of any national economy as well as prime sources of environmental degradation. Making them more sustainable represents a key challenge for the construction, planning and design industries and governments at all levels; and the rapid urbanisation of the 21st century has turned this into a global challenge. This book embodies the results of a major research programme by members of the Australia Co-operative Research Centre for Construction Innovation and its global partners, presented for an international audience of construction researchers, senior professionals and advanced students. It covers four themes, applied to regeneration as well … Read More » https://lnkd.in/ebkzdWjG

Join Us on October 18 at 1:30 PM US ET! The vision of a greener future is intertwined with the very spaces we inhabit. As construction impacts both our lived environments and the broader ecological landscape, the emphasis on sustainable practices in this sector is paramount. Leading the discourse on this pivotal issue at the 1Sustainability 2023 Global Sustainability Conference is Hanna Hallin, Head of Sustainability at SGDS Gruppen AB. Her session, "Building a Greener Future: Enabling Sustainable Construction to Make the World a Better Home," promises to be a deep dive into the confluence of construction and sustainability. In this virtual rendezvous, we'll deconstruct the innovative methodologies and frameworks that are reshaping the construction industry. Hanna Hallin, with her expertise honed at SGDS Gruppen AB, is poised to offer invaluable insights into the strategies, challenges, and triumphs of integrating sustainability into building and design. For professionals in the realms of architecture, urban planning, and environmental sciences, this session offers an enriched perspective on how the bricks and mortar of our buildings can reflect broader ecological commitments. Hallin will elucidate on the materials, technologies, and design philosophies that not only reduce environmental footprints but also foster healthier living spaces. But that's not all! You can access Hanna Hallin's enlightening session and explore sessions from over 40 speakers at the entire event, all for just $30! It's an incredible opportunity to immerse yourself in sustainability discussions. https://lnkd.in/eq-Gqw5C #Sustainability2023 #SustainableConstruction #GreenFuture #SustainabilityConference #BuildingForChange #climatechange

Materials Passports provides a framework of documenting and managing construction materials throughout their lifecycle, driving material circularity. The impacts of the climate emergency are more prevalent than ever, and extending material lifespans is fundamental to minimising the embodied and whole-life carbon impact of schemes across every sector of construction including highways. #highwaydesign #highwayconstruction #highwaysuk

Value Engineering is a critical part of any development project. It creates an inflexion point at which important decisions are made. Grenadier Estates believes that the integration of sustainability and climate issues into the RICS guidance on Value Engineering is crucial to drive meaningful change in the built environment. By introducing ‘double materiality’ into value engineering, projects can be kept on track to create a more climate-resilient and sustainable future. This is Sustainability by Design.

I have visited this project and George Brown College's Limberlost Place is a remarkable example of a smart building in every sense of the word! It's great to see PCL Construction's commitment to innovation and excellence in construction featured in projects like this. Explore how PCL is helping shape the future of smart buildings in the article below.

Green Star Projects | Building a Sustainable Future Achieving a Green Star 5-star rating is a significant milestone for construction projects, and we are proud of the strides we're making with our clients towards this goal. At the heart of our efforts is our vision of doing no harm to the communities we build in. We recently sat down with Tayla Fairthorne, our ESG Manager, to discuss some of the challenges in achieving a Green Star rating and how we're working to overcome them. One key strategy has been the implementation of a central tracking system for Green Star requirements, helping our teams monitor the credits they are working towards. Tayla has also initiated Green Star Working Groups, bringing together team members to foster open discussions and share lessons learned across different projects. This collaborative approach ensures that we continue to innovate and improve our practices. Watch the video to learn more about the key credits we are working towards and how we are collaborating with our clients to improve sustainability outcomes our projects. #architecture #Engineering #constructionlife #TheKapitolWay #building #ConstructionIndustry #constructionsite #KapitolGroup #civilengineering #projectmanagement #constructionwork #Melbourne #Construction #constructioncompany #ConstructionManagement #constructionequipment
