Alba Project Management’s Post

The Wall Street Journal has published an insightful article on decarbonising office buildings, covering everything from retrofitting to recycling demolished buildings and the adoption of circular construction methods.   Delighted we were able to show the WSJ’s Yusuf Khan around CBRE UK’s fabulous London headquarters, Henrietta House, a BREEAM Excellent and WELL Platinum-rated building – and to see our office used to illustrate a retrofit carried out with both the wellbeing of people and planet in mind.   In the article our sustainability asset advisory lead Oliver Morris discusses the positive impact of real estate in supporting the transition to net zero, sharing some reflections on the changes that support the move towards a sustainable future.   Tap below to read the article. #sustainability #retrofitting #netzero

Did you know that Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs) aren't just for factories? They seamlessly adapt to any environment, from bustling offices to innovative industrial spaces. Imagine moving your office with ease, knowing you’re using reusable materials and cutting down on waste. PEBs offer unmatched energy efficiency, reducing your carbon footprint while saving on energy costs. And the best part? They are very conducive to a quick assembly, allowing you to put everything into action in the shortest possible time. Join us in embracing a smarter, greener way to build. Whether it's a factory or an office, PEBs are the future of adaptable, sustainable construction. Let's create spaces that evolve with us! #PEBAdaptability #EcoFriendlyConstruction #FastBuilds #EnergyEfficient #ReducedWaste #SmartBuilding #PEBRevolution #industrialspace #reusablematerial #bestpart #greenway #sustainableconstruction #energycosts #NRE #nre

When I saw net zero in the headline this piqued my interest. Whilst the net zero referred to here is operational by 2030 and not whole of life, there's still lots of great takeaways around the challenges of realising a low carbon retrofit of an existing office space, including the recycling of materials such as structural steel, and flagging the need for early contractor engagement. Hats off to the developer Grosvenor and the team that has delivered this. #sustainablearchitecture #retrofit #futurecities #netzerocarbon

The greenest building might be the one that already exists. In the latest #StantecDesignQuarterly, we look at repositioning an office tower, learning from a bold vision for the Astrodome, adjusting to new building performance standards in cities, and much more.

I came across this research by Guy Grainger & Paulina Torres at JLL about demand for low carbon office buildings. “The Chicago market is heavily undersupplied due to inefficient existing stock and an especially constrained development pipeline, as well as a lack of available clean energy, among other factors.” At Ozinga, we have a BHAG to supply carbon neutral concrete to the market by 2030. In the meantime our line of CarbonSense products and solutions are available today to help significantly cut the embodied carbon in concrete for any project in our ready mix concrete service area and beyond. It’s nice to see that there is good research out there to support and encourage us in this effort. #embodiedcarbon
