How Can WLCA Help Designers Reduce Embodied Carbon Emissions?
Sustainability is at the forefront of every building designer’s mind today. And for many, the firm focus is on designing structures that reduce operational emissions; that require less energy to heat; that enhance the [...]
How The Energy Hierarchy Can Help Reduce Operational Carbon Emissions
Buildings represent one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, and it’s estimated that just under one-third of those emissions come from everyday operations.Operational emissions are those that are generated through things like heating [...]
Why Thermal Analysis Should Be Considered in Early Design
Every building will naturally feel cooler in the winter months, and warmer in the summer. However, extreme temperatures could become much more common here in the UK. Climate change is expected to bring fewer but [...]
Whole Life Cycle Assessment And Building Circularity For The London Plan
Here, we delve deeper into the new London Plan 2021 and how Mayor Sadiq Khan has set London's future construction and environmental development.This is relevant to architects and aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through [...]
How Can Building Simulation & Modelling Help You Achieve Net Zero?
For building developers and architects aiming to create buildings that are net-zero, in line with the government’s mission of achieving net-zero by 2050, the latest technological advances in building simulations and modelling can help. Building simulation [...]
The Complete Guide To Developing A Net Zero Building
The World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) has issued findings reporting that the number of organisations committed to net-zero energy buildings has doubled in one year. This is an incredible statistic and shows the combined global [...]
