Our latest piece in The Structural Engineer’s August edition – written by Mike Davies, Harry Furnival-Doran and Gemma Sheterline – looks at carbon reduction on domestic projects, and has already caught the attention of Will Arnold, convenor of Part Z, former Head of Climate Action at IStructE, and carbon technical lead for the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard.
The article sets out worked examples showing that moving away from standard structural solutions doesn’t just reduce embodied carbon – it reduces cost too. It’s a finding that challenges a common assumption in the industry, and one we think should be the rule rather than the exception.
Our TSE article is based on the research presented in our Carbon Toolkit
