Overview

This module explores:

  • Quantifying the embodied energy within the structure
  • Comparing it for alternative materials, steel, concrete and timber
  • Comparison with refurbished buildings
  • Comparison with operational energy
  • The impact of the highly connected value chain on the reduction of embodied and operational carbon
  • The UN’s Sustainability Development Goals
  • Positive impacts of re-use or recycling on demolition
  • Comparing structure with the remainder of the construction and running/maintenance costs/carbon.

CPD

This presentation is equivalent to 1 hour/point of formal CPD and will deliver outcomes related to the following Competencies from the National Standard of Competency for Architects:

    DESIGN / DOCUMENTATION

    Design: Project Briefing
    1.2 Establishment, analysis and evaluation of client project requirements and objectives.
    1.4 Identification of factors that may impact on client project requirements and objectives.
    Design: Pre-Design
    2.6 Preparation and analysis of project development options in response to project brief.
    Design: Conceptual Design
    3.3 Design response incorporates assessment of the physical location and relevant wider regional, contextual and environmental issues. 
    3.4 Design response incorporates assessment of relevant legislation, codes and industry standards. 
    3.6 Assessment of the economic impact on the project of design strategies and options.
    3.7 Assessment and integration of construction systems and materials consistent with project brief. 

Speaker

TIM ELGOOD

Principal and Building Group Leader
Arup 

Tim is a mechanical engineer by background but has always had a healthy interest in ecology, the environment and architecture. Some might describe him as a trail blazer in challenging the conventional wisdom of engineering, but he describes himself as engineer who thinks designing sustainable systems is intuitive. He also has a rare skill of presenting complicated engineering systems in a simple sketched up way so everyone can understand.

Tim has worked on projects like Federation Square which has the world’s largest underground labyrinth thermal storage system, 1 Bligh Streets with the first twin façade system in Australia and he has been working for the last ten years as the Expert Sustainability Certifier for the Barangaroo development which is one of Australia’s first precincts to achieve a carbon neutral certification.

Tim’s understands the relationship between embodied and operational carbon and the issues in terms of cost, availability and construction over the life of the project.  

 

Speaker

GRACE HAHNEL

Emerging sustainable structural engineer

Grace studied at Curtin University graduating in June 2020. She has always been passionate about sustainable living and making a difference in the work that we do. Grace pursued this passion in her final year thesis by researching and exploring sustainable design in WA and how structural engineers can influence environmental impact of buildings. This journal article is now in the process of being published in the Journal of Building Engineering.

Grace’s vision is to increase awareness of sustainability in the structural engineering industry – the more we know the better influence we can have. Tim would describe Grace as an emerging structural engineer that starts the design process with embodied carbon.

 

Speaker

ROSS DONALDSON


Ross Donaldson was CEO and Chairman of Woods Bagot from 2006-2016, leading the practice to its dramatic growth internationally to become the world’s 6th largest practice in 2014 and in 2016 the 7th “Most Admired” firm (WA100), judged by its international peers. He is a champion of the imperative for sustainable development and has presented numerous lectures internationally on sustainable models for cities and their liveability. In 2008 he established a partnership with Buro Happold to develop software for designing for zero emissions. Prior to joining Woods Bagot in 2001 he had his own small practice and taught at UWA.
