Setting carbon targets: an introduction to the proposed SCORS rating scheme

Ben Gholam describes the development by Price & Myers of a parametric benchmarking tool to allow engineers to produce scheme designs with the lowest embodied carbon.

Ian Poole explores ways to improve the utilisation ratio of designs, and encourages engineers to challenge assumptions that favour rationalisation over optimisation.

This technical lecture explores the current state-of-the-art in the structural use of bamboo around the world, including codes, guides and barriers, and where the sector may be heading.
