Greater Manchester flood scheme catalyses the use of various low carbon technologies

First approved in May 2020, the Littleborough Flood Risk Management Scheme (FRMS) – projected cost of £86M – was developed to manage flood risk from the River Roch for the towns of Rochdale and Littleborough in Greater Manchester over the next 100 years. It forms… The post Greater Manchester flood scheme catalyses the use of various low carbon technologies appeared first on New Civil Engineer.

Reducing Carbon Emissions Through Low Carbon Concrete Mix Design

The post Reducing Carbon Emissions Through Low Carbon Concrete Mix Design appeared first on UK Construction Blog. Concrete is a major contributor to carbon emissions in construction, primarily due to conventional mix designs that use high cement content. Within the UK construction industry, there is increased scrutiny on practical carbon reduction strategies. Effective methods to lower emissions are available, provided that performance standards and regulatory compliance are upheld. Efforts to reduce carbon […]

RICS - Infrastructure financing for social and environmental outcomes - with Global Infrastructure Hub 16052023

The OECD estimates that USD 6.9 trillion per year are needed up to 2050 for investment in infrastructure to meet development goals and create a low carbon, climate resilient future. According to the Global Infrastructure Hub, however, there is currently a multi-trillion-dollar gap in these required investments. How can we close the sustainability infrastructure gap? What global organisations are doing to scale up finance? What is the latest report on the state of investment in infrastructure?

BE-ST - Low Carbon Learning, Fabric and Structures - Module 5, approach to delivery of Net Zero Buildings Skills, 29032022

A webinar about low carbon construction. Four specific areas are highlighted: 1) "Fabric First" approach and how it can help reduce consumption of energy and build towards greater energy efficiency 2) Carbon Accounting - processes now being used in construction projects 3) Mass Timber Solutions - looking at Whole Lifecycle Analysis from forest floor to Built Environment & how it can help us with Net Zero 4) Sustainable Materials - processes, practices & solutions within construction

BE-ST- Low Carbon Learning, Fabric and Structure - Module 3, Mass Timber Solutions Module, 11052022

Focusing on new homegrown products this module considers the whole life cycle analysis from forest floor to built environment .. supporting designers, specifiers, procurement, etc, to consider the full process (growing/felling/milling/optimising/drying/hauling/manufacturing) to ensure that the lowest embodied carbon options are chosen for the built environment and begin the transitional culture change from focusing on operational carbon, to the embodied carbon of specified construction materials

BE-ST - Low Carbon Learning, Fabric and Structure - Module 2, Carbon Accounting Module, 17052022

This module will focus on how carbon accounting can be used within the built environment. It will highlight the technical challenges to reduce embodied and operational carbon and explore specific processes that can be used on construction projects, explaining how carbon footprint can be defined more easily and how calculating tools can be used effectively.
