Embodied carbon regulation: alignment of industry policy recommendations

Tom Harley-Tuffs and Jonathan Russell from the Sustainability Panel explore how government legislation and investor commitments are causing clients globally to put carbon first.

Appendix A of Eurocode 2 permits a reduction in material partial factors for reinforcing steel and concrete. Designing elements with the reduced material partial factors reduces the amount of reinforcement steel required, hence a reduction in embodied carbon and energy, without any loss of performance.

This article discusses timbers and carbon, availability and end-of-life issues.

Muiris Moynihan MIStructE explains why use is so widespread, the materials' climate change impact, and why their responsible use is the realm of structural engineers.

Hear how leading engineers are driving innovation in sustainability by unlocking the path to sustainable excellence and exploring carbon standards, regulations, and greenwashing avoidance strategies.

This course is designed to enable you to design structures with net zero emissions. Delivered as a series of interactive online sessions across five weeks.

The aim of this webpage is to serve as a high-level guide for engineers about current and emerging lower carbon concrete technologies available in the UK market.

This lecture explores lean structural design, how to challenge a brief to reduce embodied carbon, and low-carbon structural innovation.

At this paper launch event, the authors of this paper outline how to use GGBS in order to reduce global emissions.
