Carbon literacy means understanding that big farts of upfront embodied emissions happening now actually matter more than operating emissions down the road. treehugger.com/why-the-world-…

@ryan_arcdox @WeAreTUDublin @BIMTUDublin Ryan that’s great!

Online Graduation Ceremony were a great success tonight! Thank you to all involved!! @WeAreTUDublin @BIMTUDublin

2 viruses a year!! We changed a lot recently and were good at self interest, why not stop chopping rainforest.. might get the pubs open! Now I’m interested!! linkedin.com/posts/world-ec…

Space construction technology could help us build more sustainable houses on Earth

The focus on the 11% materials is good as we apparently respond best to near term threats. Each new building we get one chance to make a decision on material carbon emissions.

Worth a look -frightening how #Covid19 with such rapid speed became such a major cause of death globally. Would be dangerous for any country to bow to pressure to do more quickly in terms of reopening than is safe to do. Such a delicate balance

“We’ve proven we can operate with no footprint,” Gorman, the firm’s chief executive officer, said in an interview Thursday with Bloomberg Television. “Can I see a future where part of every week, certainly part of every month, a lot of our employees will be at home? Absolutely.”

@NSAI_Standards measuring to a standard and publishing our carbon emissions including embedded would be useful. Otherwise a feel good green fig leaf?

Going green isn’t just for #StPatricksDay! Did you know that there are standards like environmental management which can help you in saving the planet? Find out more here:

Starting to look like it has.. Has the wooden skyscraper revolution arrived? cnn.com/style/article/…

France to build "50%" public buildings in wood - a significant policy change aimed at reducing 11% of the annual carbon emissions and storing more carbon. A solution to reducing carbon is there if you want it. #read" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">globalconstructionreview.com/news/new-frenc…

Decisions decisions.. Keep building in steel and concrete and emit 1/5th of CO2 emissions budget (eg. Paris). Alternatively build 90% of buildings in timber and store 700m Tonnes of carbon each year..+less conc/steel emissions. PIK Research Portal pik-potsdam.de/news/press-rel…

@carolhagen @_aechive Or even better use sustainably sourced mass timber / CLT instead - more tree planting plus sequestered carbon in buildings.

@IKEOGroup @_aechive Or you could commit to planting enough trees for carbon offset.

How much carbon did your developments or designs cause in 2019? Just add together the concrete and steel. Now consider not doing that in 2020 or setting reductions target. We have 10 years to radically decarbonize the building industry. fastcompany.com/90435650/these…

@MFarmer_Resi @ArchitectsJrnal Enjoying the cartoon! Every few years this RICS monster is wheeled out! Business model more than professions looks to be the issue? I recommend 1998 self help book on business change, mice, little people no slurs intended..survive!: “#whomovedmycheese?”

I’ll take it as a badge of honour to join the long list of people lampooned by Louis Hellman in @ArchitectsJrnal Even down to the RICS crest signifying a mere philistine QS apparently attempting to sideline creative architects! The truth is very different but I will march on!
