Returning glass to the supply chain Architectural flat glass is a high value material but typically has a 25-30 year design life and therefore must be replaced at least once over a building’s lifespan. Yet very little of this product is recycled due to the composite nature of insulated glazing units, with most waste being down-cycled, used as aggregate or landfilled.   Recycled flat glass can have a 40% lower carbon footprint than new flat glass, and recycling old glass reduces the need for raw material extraction and reduces construction waste. In the latest edition of The Structural Engineer, Graham Coult and Rebecca Hartwell investigate the process of glazing recovery.    Read the whole article here: https://lnkd.in/en5cdXvf #glass #circularity #glassrecycling #glassreuse #thestructuralengineer

Does the USA need this? 🤔 With plastic usage on the rise, it's time to rethink our approach to construction. A LEGO-inspired system that turns plastic waste into durable structures! I've never been a fan of creating unnecessary plastic waste. However, when I moved to the USA, I saw everything was made of plastic and 99.99% of the times, it becomes too difficult to make the situation unavoidable. I've never supported the generation of unnecessary plastic waste. However, I observed that plastic is EVERYWHERE in the USA, making it nearly impossible to avoid in 99.99% of situations. Let's build a more sustainable future please! One brick at a time! #Sustainability #Innovation #PlasticWaste

The importance of design and detailing in achieving our decarbonisation goals! It was great to see my old colleague's article on the importance of durability and good detailing in this month’s journal from the The Institution of Structural Engineers. Nipun Wijegunasekera and Pasindu Perera have provided an excellent overview of this critical part of design, that doesn't always get the attention it deserves. They highlight some shocking examples where poor detailing and lack of considerations for durability have led to major failures, some fatal. Issues such as the wrong epoxy or a lack of inspectability are typical causes. It is of paramount importance that detailing must be fit for purpose in critical structures, but I would also extend the importance of good design and detailing to building design generally. In particular, the importance of design excellence and good detailing in providing buildings which, simply put, 'work', moreover, buildings that people actually like. Sometimes, it’s frustrating to see modern buildings with clear deficiencies in detailing and design quality. While they may not be safety critical, these shortcomings can lead to buildings that look tired quickly and never achieve their potential. And here is the issue: decarbonisation and sustainability are about more than the materials we use. They are about the value of the buildings we create. Sloppy design leads to lost value for users and owners and lost carbon value. One of the key tenets of our decarbonisation approach is 'enduring appeal'. It is about making excellent buildings. Buildings that truly meet the needs of users, maximise value for clients, and provide assets that people will want to preserve, adapt, and evolve with. So, next time you look to save some carbon in the materials, take a step back and make sure that the design and detailing are right. You might just end up saving more carbon and leaving a better legacy as a result!

Master Talks #12 Post 2 of 2 Why Does it Matter? Understanding the difference between U-value and R-value is crucial for making informed decisions in building design and energy conservation. Here's why: Energy Efficiency: By selecting glass with lower U-values and higher R-values, builders and architects can enhance the energy efficiency of buildings, leading to reduced energy consumption and lower utility bills. Comfort: Glass with better thermal insulation properties helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures, improving occupant comfort throughout the year. Environmental Impact: Buildings account for a significant portion of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. By choosing materials with lower U-values and higher R-values, we can reduce the environmental footprint of buildings and contribute to sustainability efforts. In conclusion, understanding the distinction between U-value and R-value is essential for optimizing the thermal performance of glass in building design. By prioritizing materials with lower U-values and higher R-values, we can create spaces that are not only energy-efficient but also comfortable and environmentally friendly. Whether you're designing a new building or retrofitting an existing one, considering these factors can have a significant impact on long-term sustainability and occupant well-being.  #mastertalks #masterfacades #facade #facadeengineeringinindia #facadeIndia #engineering #glass #glassfacade #masterfacadesglobal #facadeengineering #windows #facadedesign #structuralengineering #structuralengineers #buildingmaterials #buildingdesign #glass #curtainwall #glazing #buildingenvelope #highrise #subcontractors #design #construction #engineering #bim #bim360 #tekla #autocad #estimation #costing #rendering #3D #engineeringservices #outsourcing
