http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesThe idea that achieving a low carbon, sustainable building requires additional spend is very last decade..
Although it felt like the world economy stopped in certain ways, it really didn’t.Construction and manufacturing continued throughout the pandemic, as did the production of steel and concrete.
What this really highlights though, is that while our own personal behaviour does contribute to the climate crisis, it’s actually the much larger macroeconomy that’s driving very large amounts of the emissions..Although the reality of this situation is actually invisible to most people, it’s imperative that we start doing more than we’re currently doing.Nuclear power could become a key part of our decarbonisation strategy, and we’re starting to see an interesting shift take place.
The traditional, anti-nuclear left is beginning to become marginalised.In fact, Gogan says that the representation from nuclear, and the appetite for these new nuclear, advanced heat technologies, was strong at COP26.
She’s also pleased with the decision to have an annual holding to account, rather than the five year timeframe we’ve previously been using.
Hopefully, she says, this will put more pressure on wealthy nations to demonstrate progress.. At Bryden Wood, we believe that making a shift towards smaller, repeatable, manufactured elements is an important part of the path forward.It was also the programme which first proposed the use of construction Platforms.
This idea has now been adopted by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) and is a central focus of the Construction Innovation Hub.. We are both proud and pleased to be part of the gathering momentum around these approaches.The potential of design to transform lives within the prison system and way beyond, is inspiring..
