🚐 🏡 Did you know that transport and buildings account for 28% and 20% of the city's total greenhouse gas emissions? The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE)’s new ‘State of the city London’ report is intended to help the incoming Mayor of the May 2024 Mayoral election identify actions they can take to accelerate the decarbonisation of London’s Built Environment.  👥 ICE exists to bring together the knowledge and experience of engineering and infrastructure professionals to deliver a public benefit. In this spirit, Judith Sykes FREng and Oana Sala contributed to a series of workshops convened by ICE London, identifying key bottlenecks holding back progress which, if addressed, can have a disproportionately high impact on delivering a Net Zero city. 📑 Download the report here - https://lnkd.in/e8uKY6wu.  We are looking forward to the launch event at the Institution of Civil Engineers on 20 May!

“The U.S. needs to reduce emissions from heavy industry to achieve national and global climate goals, and there are significant opportunities to do so by tackling emissions from cement, concrete, and asphalt.”   CATF’s Emily Tucker comments on a new report from CATF, ClearPath, and the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) that finds modernizing regulatory structures for the cement, concrete, and asphalt industries opens the door for innovation and can unlock emissions reductions and materials savings for both producers and the public. https://lnkd.in/eeK3wYNn

Here we are testing an installation of an oven in a cabinet. Part of our study with CSIRO to quantify the opportunity for energy savings in new construction housing. Hint: we’re finding a lot of “opportunities“!

Great to see this study making progress, with our nature-inclusive scour protection solution evaluated by the US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. The Environmental Studies Program evaluates the effectiveness of different materials used for cable protection and scour protection in enhancing hard bottom fisheries habitat. #renewableenergy #SustainableDevelopment #biodiversity #subseaengineering #offshorewind

Watch Carson Gemmill, P. Eng explain how Enwave Energy Corporation is using our Deep Lake Water Cooling system to provide low carbon heating to George Brown College‘s Limberlost Place. Heating from cooling - it’s not obvious, but a great way to decarbonize Downtown Toronto at scale!

The latest issue of Piling Canada is now available! Read more about how Keller’s #sustainability efforts are shaped by the planet, people, principles and profit. Kimberly Martin, PhD, PE says, “Now that we have more efficient buildings, we are realizing that a building’s #carbon emissions are more driven by the embodied carbon – which comes from the materials and effort used to build it.” #KellerExcellence The story begins on page 49 📖

We have to know on detail description about the location of emission reduction projects. We start asking, what type of land tenure is used in emission reduction projects? What's types of permit to develop the project?

Our Technical Advisor Jakub Stefaniak shares his insights insights into the urgent challenge of the energy performance of the buildings in Europe. Jakub underscores the role of Expanded Polystyrene (#EPS) insulation in addressing this issue. While the market presents various energy efficiency enhancements, insulation stands out as a fundamental priority. The current emphasis on alternatives like heat pumps might miss the forest for the trees, as Jakub suggests. Without robust insulation, the energy harnessed by heat pumps risks being squandered, propelling energy expenditures to new heights – a pressing concern in our current economic landscape 💡💶. EPS emerges as a standout solution, acclaimed for its cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, and durability, marking it as a prime choice for comprehensive insulation projects aligned with the Green Deal ambitions. Its exceptionally low thermal conductivity coefficient is key to curtailing heat loss, reinforcing its status as a frontrunner in sustainable construction materials 🛠️❄️.

Your thoughts and insights are invaluable as we navigate this green transition together! 🌱🏗️ #EPSForGreenDeal #SustainableConstruction #EUMEPS #ClimateAction #EcoFriendly

Massachusetts is looking to expand a state pilot program that allows 10 municipalities to ban the use of fossil fuels in new construction or major renovation projects. The new bill, which is under consideration, would allow all qualified communities to adopt the ban. Joseph Duquette discusses the details in our most recent commercial real estate blog post https://lnkd.in/e6AzrAPP
