These cassettes were standardised across the building, so it merited the time to optimise them so that they would be of greatest value throughout the whole life of the asset.
HELEN HOUGH, HEAD OF SUSTAINABILITY.'I am enjoying how the industry is changing and becoming more diverse in general.
The most important thing is to enjoy your job.It’s about being a good engineer.'.MARTINA CARDI, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR, ARCHITECTURE.
'At Bryden Wood, it’s all about the role you have in the project and not whether you are a woman or not.Overall in the office, it’s still probably more men, especially when you look at all the disciplines, but when you look at the architectural team we are completely balanced....
If you are a young woman starting out in architecture, being a woman shouldn’t stop you from pursuing your career.
It’s exciting and very creative.This can be achieved via measures to reduce the use or the carbon of individual materials, the implementation of energy efficiency measures, the use of on-site renewables and finally a combination of carbon offset schemes and green Power Purchase Agreements (PPA)..
It should be noted, that for most new developments nowadays it is not feasible to become net zero within the possibilities of the design (energy and material efficiency measures), so the use of carbon offset schemes and PPA is essential.. Why should we focus on sustainable construction and net zero carbon?.The UK has established ambitious targets to reduce carbon by 2050.
The UK aspires to reduce total carbon emissions by 78% by 2035, compared to 2020 levels, and become net zero carbon by 2050.These ambitions, translated to the built environment, can only be achieved via the implementation of measures to reduce operational and embodied carbon of new buildings, upgrading existing buildings, the use of ambitious policies and crucially via a decarbonised grid..
