Watch Director, Steven Tilkin unveil the transformative impact of platform strategies on the construction industry. This session is a deep dive into how these strategies are revolutionising the way we think about building efficiency, timeliness, and environmental sustainability: https://lnkd.in/eaZPn8tH #PDfMA #constructionmanagement #industrializedconstruction #innovation

From retrofitting existing buildings to using sustainable materials in construction. Our panel discuss what insurers look for and how to improve the insurability of a construction project: https://okt.to/urwjn2

Materials & Embodied Carbon Leaders’ Alliance members might be interested in an upcoming MECLA briefing on ASBEC's Issues Paper on Upfront Embodied Carbon Project. The issues paper has been released and ASBEC is seeking feedback on whether the most important issues have been captured as part of a comprehensive policy framework being developed for the built environment around reducing embodied carbon. Here more about the issues paper and have your say. Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council (ASBEC) https://lnkd.in/gveG8dQM

AG Paving and Building Products has launched Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for over 370 products, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable construction. With some of the lowest carbon footprints in the industry, AG’s EPDs provide transparent data on environmental impacts, supporting greener building projects.

Take a look at this press release ?????? These demos are two excellent examples of #sustainable, durable and circular #buildings, designed according to the principle of being #reversible and easily #deconstructed and #reused. Sustainability, #circularity, and reuse are pivotal concepts that we should have clear in mind today. ??

We were wowed by the knowledge and passion shared by Guidehouse consulting agency director of public sector sustainability, Ted Kowalsky. He shared with Kahua’s Federal Construction Forum audience today how the frequency and longevity of climate-related events is impacting the world and how future construction projects will be required to follow sustainability mandates. Government owners and builders need to become “disclosure ready” for these upcoming changes. #enablinginnovation

?? ???? ?? EU Funds Our Mission to Green Up Construction! We're excited to announce that our latest project, co-financed by the European Union through ELY-keskus - Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment is making significant strides. This initiative allows us to accelerate the development of our robust data infrastructure and raise the user-friendliness of our Platform to a completely new level! ?? ?? Key achievements: Massive data: We're handling millions of data points to provide accurate and up-to-date information on building materials and their environmental impact. Easy-to-use platform: Our platform offers intuitive features for creating projects, comparing materials, and tracking environmental performance. Innovative tools: We're introducing innovative tools like element creation and project-level impact calculations, to streamline the design process and improve efficiency. ?? Why this matters: This EU-funded project is helping us drive innovation in the building industry. By empowering architects and designers with data-driven insights, we're contributing to a more sustainable and transparent built environment. ?? Stay tuned: We're on track for the first new product launches this autumn.

Nordic collaboration on climate-friendly construction has made significant strides, covering a wide range of aspects that are driving the construction sector in a greener direction. ? In this video from the Nordic Climate Forum for Construction 2024, Jarek Kurnitski, professor at Tallinn University of Technology explains how Nordic collaboration - from an Estonian perspective - has influenced the implementation of climate requirements in the construction sector. ? Jarek highlights the importance of harmonization across the Nordic countries, including Estonia, and emphasizes how close collaboration can improve the sector’s overall performance in terms of sustainability and property management. This also facilitates easier cross-border comparisons and ensures a more level playing field and fairer competition. ? On the 4th of December, at the Nordic Sustainable Construction Forum, we will explore this subject further with highlights from the three-year program, including results from a work package dedicated to Nordic harmonization of LCA. ? ?? Join us as we conclude and celebrate three years of extensive work on strengthening collaboration in the Nordic construction sector. ? ??
