Reducing structural embodied carbon is a crucial step towards achieving the 2030 net-zero targets and beyond, and structural engineers need to approach design differently. This lecture explores several methods to reduce embodied carbon in design, including:
Retrofit and donor buildings
Deviation from design codes
Material innovation
Low-carbon procurement
Lean structural design
Challenging the brief
Gain an appreciation for retrofitting and an understanding of the possibilities inherent in using donor buildings
Understand ways to challenge the design brief
Hear case studies highlighting how embodied carbon reduction has been achieved to date
Structural engineers from practices of all sizes, wishing to gain an understanding and an appreciation for reducing embodied carbon
Ryan has worked as a part of various design and construction teams to deliver projects for private investors, developers, local authorities, and government agencies. After having spent over three years at AKT II, Ryan joined the thriving team at Civic Engineers in 2021. Ryan is a member of the Low Carbon and Sustainability Team at Civic Engineers and is a passionate advocate of using drawing and sketching to explore and develop ideas to find creative solutions to problems.
Oscar is a structural design engineer with 4 years design experience, also at Civic Engineers. He is currently working towards chartership with the IStructE. and has experience delivering projects at all RIBA design stages. These projects have spanned commercial, residential, industrial, education, refurbishment, and sculpture.
A hybrid conference dedicated to best practice in the early stages of adaptive reuse projects through assessment, appraisal and design decisions
This new guidance is an essential read for any built environment professional developing new (or reusing existing) structures today. Across four principal sections it explains why the adoption of circular economy principles is critical.
