The impending post-COVID era presents a unique opportunity to build less carbon-dependent economies in a way that addresses social, economic, health, and environmental challenges. Looking toward the future, policy makers must implement the plans, incentives, tools, and technologies needed to truly “build back better” and improve day-to-day life for all people. In doing so, the...

Learning Objectives: Describe the reasons behind the design decisions for the presented projects. Identify the key sustainable elements in each of the projects. List two design constraints to sustainability in the projects. Discuss the sustainable building strategies used in these projects. This webinar is part of the Sustainability Academy. Join this Sustainability Academy webinar highlighting projects...

The workshop will give an overview of UKGBC’s Renewable Energy Procurement and Carbon Offsetting Guidance. Given the complexity of these topics, this workshop will aim to provide a greater understanding of the principles and metrics behind them, and what it means to procure renewable energy and carbon offset in a way that will have the...

The net zero series sheds light on the work already undertaken by UKRI’s flagship programme -the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund to address the key challenges that will help the UK build back greener. It will bring together world-renowned researchers and innovators across the breadth of our funding disciplines to discuss the need for innovative solutions...

Buildings are connected resources of a larger built environment. Buildings lock in substantial carbon emissions through material choices and continue to emit carbon during their operations through life. Building design decisions made now will be responsible for carbon emissions for the next several decades. This presentation will provide an overview of the future of carbon...

Join Sam Brooks and James Perakis as they discuss how to bridge the gap between design analysis, financial performance, and procurement. As a Design Analytics practice leader, James will explain how his team designs and models the zero carbon vision of building- and campus-scale projects. From there, the Advanced Energy Services team, led by Sam, will show how to navigate the often-opaque marketplace of distributed energy resources — procuring...

During the webinar on ‘All about Carbon’  BSI experts will help one to discover crucial aspects of business that will affect the journey to Net Zero, including emissions reduction, carbon offsetting and application of the principles of the circular economy. Greenhouse gas emissions are categorized into three groups or 'Scopes' by the most widely-used international...

Learning Objectives: Understand the basics of embodied carbon in concrete and its impact on the environment Describe effective methodologies for specifying concrete products to create a long-lasting, durable building and sustainable architecture Explain how material innovations in the concrete industry are moving towards zero carbon concrete List two design solutions presented that demonstrate concrete’s role...
