Broadly speaking, when we refer to automation in construction, we mean the development and application of tools, methods and technologies that automate various parts of a construction project from design through to the actual construction process.
What would a zero-carbon building look like across its whole lifespan?There is a pressing need to reduce carbon emissions in the short term, so although having an efficient building over a 50-year period is a good outcome, it is insufficient if it causes a huge emission of CO2 in the next few years.
There are technologies being developed that extract CO2 from the atmosphere to incorporate into building materials.These ideas offer the opportunity to make the construction of an asset carbon negative.. How can we build and not just protect diversity (e.g.move a threatened species) but provide the foundations to increase natural habitats?
This is not just putting money aside to plant trees, it’s about working with environmental groups – not to seek reluctant acceptance but instead enthusiastic support and ideas.We know that green spaces are a positive influence on our well-being.
Studies have shown that contact with nature has a significant impact on mental health.
This is another example where multiple value drivers can be augmented in tandem; increasing diversity, improving well-being, supporting productivity and creating educational environments.. How can we reduce waste materials, and, moreover, incorporate them into the built environment, reusing plastics and other potential throwaways?.For more information on our Façade Engineering please.
