Embodied carbon refers to the carbon emissions generated during the construction process. The extraction, manufacturing, transportation and refinement of raw materials, along with the disposal and installation of old supplies all lead to embodied carbon emissions. This is limited not only to construction but also to utilities and natural oil ...
The built environment is reliant on energy-hungry materials. Iron & steel, glass, plastics, concrete and cement all require huge amounts of energy and resources to manufacture, and without finding alternative materials or new approaches, the construction sector’s efforts to reduce its emissions and carbon footprint will fail. This panel will ...
How well is the Esco (energy services company) business model understood by asset owners, operators, property managers and facility managers? How do they see the sector – is there a culture of energy management? Is there appetite, given lower tariffs vs. a long pay-back period? Is there trust for these ...
The RSB Dubai outlines its new energy and water rating scheme for the emirate's offices and residential buildings. Local benchmarks will be used to assess the performance of property, thus identifying efficiency levels of buildings, and encouraging retrofit projects and ultimately net zero property. Presented by: Elie Matar, Head of ...
The built environment accounts for approximately 25% of global CO2 emissions. Reaching net zero by 2050 will require buildings and construction industry to decarbonise three times faster over the next 30 years versus the previous 30. How will engineers contribute and collaborate to succeed? This session focuses on Design for ...
This talk looks at two major projects in Dubai and Saudi Arabia that are aiming to reach net zero carbon emissions from their annual energy use. These are the new Dubai Electricity & Water (Dewa) headquarters and a master planned leisure destination in the Asir Region of Saudi Arabia. The ...
This talk looks at how to cut energy use in a commercial building, using a recent retrofit example at the Miramar Al Aqah Beach Resort in Fujairah, UAE. It follows a five-year shared saving contract that set out over a longer period to cut energy bills whilst removing technical and ...
A retrofit success story that explores the digital and technological advancements that were implemented across an energy efficiency project, and the benefits these introduced. Presented by: Maji Monday, Director of HSSEQ, Projects and Maintenance, RSA Global https://youtu.be/pEFBmDkbi-s Below is the audience Q&A session with all speakers from the Retrofit track ...
The efficiency of a building is not linear. It drops off as key parts within the building age. This talk looks at efforts to improve the energy efficiency of an aluminium factory. The factory produces 18,000 tonnes a year of aluminium parts. Following an energy audit, Enova used its rooftop ...
For a new building that is fully compliant with building codes, half of its carbon emissions are likely to be from embodied carbon. Today, about 40% of global energy rated emissions are due to buildings and construction, making the embodied element about 20%. As populations rise and the trend of ...
This talk, given by Pierre Piniau, General Manager, Milwaukee Tool MEA, presents an outline of usage costs for certain types of onsite equipment if electric options are chosen versus diesel-generator based kit. https://youtu.be/9O2604xvj38 Below is the audience Q&A session with all speakers from the Measuring & reducing carbon in construction ...
