New study reveals importance of lifecycle costs in urban planning decisions

Urban planning and infrastructure projects need to account for lifecycle costs, including maintenance expenses and associated emissions over the full lifespan of the infrastructure, which can extend beyond 100 years. How design solutions influence these long-term and recurring costs and emissions is crucial and must be carefully considered.

A new way to build: Alliance contracting enables smarter German infrastructure

When it comes to delivering complex infrastructure, the model matters as much as the mission. That’s why a new rail project in northern Germany is not only important for the country’s connectivity — it’s also a breakthrough in how we collaborate, deliver, and drive value.

Biogenic carbon in timber buildings – how should it be considered?

Timber has a major role to play in the decarbonisation of the construction industry: replacing carbon-intensive materials such as steel and concrete, lending itself to circular economy principles, and promoting sustainable forest management. However, it is its ability to sequester and store carbon within harvested wood products (HWPs) that is the ace up its sleeve. Or is it? Our review takes a deeper dive into biogenic carbon to assess its appropriate use when reporting embodied carbon. It should be noted that this study only considers the carbon associated with timber; related issues such as biodiversity impact have not been explored.
