The launch of the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard (‘the Standard’) has taken place in September 24. RIBA says: " It’s a standard that has been created collaboratively by built environment organisations and leading experts in the profession in response to the market demand for a clear and unified definition for net zero carbon aligned assets in the UK." Tomorrow there will be a webinar on the subject. #architecture #netzero https://lnkd.in/eBvnYV2E

Carbon prices need to be quadrupled to incentivise low carbon design. In this excellent study by Tim den Dekker and Roelof Coertze they explored new build vs retrofit and found that current carbon pricing does not promote low carbon design. It can be a daunting read for those not in the world of finance (including me!) but to curb carbon emissions, this is just the kind of cross-industry insight we need! #greenfinance #retrofit #carbonpricing #netzerocarbon

Lots of interesting discussions about the AECB CarbonLite Standards going on here.

Welcome Carbon Lite Standard! During a seminar organised by The Green Register, Tim Martel, (AECB) Association for Environment Conscious Building Standards & Certification Programme Manager, presented groundbreaking findings on the CarbonLite Retrofit (CLR) standards. My highlight from the seminar is that CLR standards often produce fewer carbon dioxide emissions than the Passivhaus standard, which is traditionally seen as the gold standard in energy efficiency. This underscores the effectiveness of cost-effective, pragmatic measures in reducing carbon emissions. The key moves of for a Carbon Lite approach are very similar to what we advise on our nomoregas website: 1. An electric energy engine is the most important step towards reducing carbon emissions. Pragmatic and effective actions to reach a degree of insulation that allows the installation of a heat pump are the first considerations. 2. Insulation Requirements: For Step 1 retrofits, recommended measures include cavity wall insulation, 300-400mm loft insulation, and at least double-glazed windows. These ensure that the running costs of heat pumps remain manageable. 3. Ventilation: Installing efficient ventilation systems to maintain indoor air quality while minimising energy use. Proper ventilation prevents moisture build-up and ensures a healthy indoor environment. 4. Step-by-Step Approach: The CLR standards allow for a step-by-step approach to retrofitting, where the process can be done in stages. Step 1 is the minimum permissible step, offering a low-carbon interim measure that can be built upon with deeper fabric retrofits in the future. Visualising the Impact: The Carbon Emissions Graph The AECB’s findings were illustrated through a graph showing cumulative CO2e (operational + embodied) emissions over 60 years for a semi-detached house. The graph compared various retrofitting approaches: • 194 tonnes CO2e for a gas boiler. • 99 tonnes CO2e for CarbonLite Full Retrofit without ASHP. • 76 tonnes CO2e for EnerPHit without ASHP. • Significantly lower emissions for CarbonLite Step 1 Retrofit with ASHP, showcasing it as the least carbon-intensive intervention. At Unagru Architecture Urbanism, we are committed to expanding the agency of ecological design and integrating sustainable practices in all our projects. #Sustainability #EcologicalDesign #CarbonLiteRetrofit #GreenArchitecture #UnagruArchitecture #NetZero #RenewableEnergy #AECB #GreenBuilding #RetrofitRevolution

Plan B Ep. 2, a comprehensive conversation between architects and engineers explored the potential for reusing and upscaling building materials in sustainable construction.

A truly global design and engineering firm committed to the UN Sustainability Goals, #Stantec is focused on improving sustainable design impact. Building engineering leader Mehdi Jalayerian is presenting in two sessions at the 2024 Council on Tall Buildings And Urban Habitat (CTBUH) International Conference, sharing his knowledge on how carbon value and exceptional #design can revolutionize high-rise buildings, and why the modernization of existing commercial buildings is a “greener” option than the construction of new buildings. https://lnkd.in/g2W-ST3z

Carbon prices are a key policy tool to mitigate climate change, including those emitted by constructing and maintaining buildings. The ACC is a multi disciplinary group which also includes architects and actuaries. In this ACC article Tim den Dekker and Roelof Coertze explore whether the carbon prices that are assumed in the NGFS scenarios are high enough to steer real estate investment decisions towards lower carbon design alternatives. https://lnkd.in/dpsWzkr6 #carboncredits #carbonpricing #buildingindustry #netzero #actuary #architect Louise Pryor Simon Sturgis Mike Clark Colin Wilson Martin Pike Paul Pritchard Ian Hally Kateryna Katyukha Swiegers Andrew Kitchen FIA Neil Dissanayake Gowri Kotur Faisal Zai Alastair Gilg Junaid Iqbal Andrew Smith
