An eight-storey refurb and extension scheme in the heart of London, it gave a previously deteriorated building a new lease of life.<\/p>\n<p>This was achieved by adopting one of the most important and essential approaches to modern, circular construction: reusing and repurposing existing assets, including the existing structure for support, air circulation systems and other previously integrated facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the existing foundations were justified for the additional weight of the extension. This delivered low waste and maximum efficiency, with minimal intervention.<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t525-vqwMJ4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Reducing cost and carbon<\/h3>\n<p>Other instances of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/design-future-london\/102062\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">structural engineers\u2019 influence on the overarching sustainability<\/a> requirements were in developing a solution where York House\u2019s feature extension could be built in engineered timber, providing a robust but green structure. By exposing the timber internally, they were also able to reduce the amount of finish required, reducing cost and carbon.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a best-in-class example of how structural engineers have a key role to play in reducing carbon emissions in construction and really highlights what\u2019s possible when sustainability is put at the top of the brief.<\/p>\n<h3>Oregon Forest Science Complex<\/h3>\n<p>In turn, the Oregon Forest Science Complex, part of Oregon State University, presents another exceptional example of how using green structural materials can reduce a building\u2019s carbon footprint. In particular, it showcases how timber has earned its rightful place among high-tech construction materials, offering a low-carbon alternative to more traditional, high-performance systems.<\/p>\n<p>The complex also demonstrates timber\u2019s unique properties when deployed in an area of high seismic activity as the material\u2019s low weight helps to reduce seismic forces and stress on the building. Structural robustness, sustainably sourced. Just what we need.<\/p>\n<h3>Race to net zero<\/h3>\n<p>Two projects which I believe structural engineers, and other construction professionals worldwide, should take note of, particularly following last year\u2019s landmark COP 26 conference. Following this global event, the race is now on for net zero, rapidly followed by regenerative design principles such that our profession doesn\u2019t merely do less harm but does good.<\/p>\n<p>Approaching this from a top-level perspective, we urgently need to adopt a more circular and imaginative approach towards the built environment, from the smallest dwelling to the largest piece of infrastructure. Fundamentally, we need to use less &#8220;stuff&#8221; in our buildings.<\/p>\n<p>This includes drastically reducing the excavating of virgin raw materials and producing carbon intensive ones. Although product manufacturers have their role to play in this substantial task, specifiers also have a key role to play in driving emissions down.<\/p>\n<h3>Climate Emergency Task Group<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s something my peers at the Institution of Structural Engineers have as a key priority. There is already an expectation across the board that our members need to prioritise sustainable construction as much as core fundamentals, like structural safety and integrity. The IStructE recently announced updates to its routes to becoming professionally qualified, which have raised the level of testing of attitudes and skills concerning sustainable structural design.<\/p>\n<p>Will Arnold, who leads the charge in IStructE for sustainable design, puts our expectations succinctly: &#8220;To fail to act now is to ignore the requirements of the institution with which we are affiliated. Our potential professional impact on the climate crisis far outweighs our potential impact at home \u2013 and it is our duty as professional engineers to start acting today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Over two years ago, IStructE established a dedicated Climate Emergency Task Group. Gathering together some of the most creative and sustainability-focused minds in our profession, it has led the way in the industry by creating free sustainability guidance for members and non-members alike, and pioneering on initiatives such as the Structural Carbon Tool, and the proposed Part Z amendments to the Building Regulations.<\/p>\n<h3>Carbon as a skill<\/h3>\n<p>Looking ahead to this year, the focus will be on strengthening carbon as a core skill in the engineer\u2019s toolkit, broadening the knowledge base to encompass wider aspects of sustainability and influencing other industries with whom structural engineers engage.<\/p>\n<p>Structural engineers have extraordinary skills to offer holistically in sustainable design and we are determined that this skillset is exploited by clients, users, developers and all professions relate to construction. Coming back to the Structural Awards, which will be entering their 54th iteration this year, the focus in 2022 will move away from the longest, tallest or most slender. These measures are simply no longer appropriate, bluntly.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the Structural Awards will look for excellence in structural design associated with Planet, People, Process and Profession. We will look for outstanding contributions which are holistic in outlook, with &#8220;Planet&#8221; being a key driver for a new baseline requirement. Change is all around us, and IStructE is embracing and driving change, something we are all very proud of.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Professor Tim Ibell<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chair of judges<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.istructe.org\/structuralawards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IStructE Structural Awards 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tel: +44 (0)20 7235 4535<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:events@istructe.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">events@istructe.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IStructE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/istruct-e-58a43a2a\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/theinstitutionofstructuralengineers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Tim Ibell, chair of the judges for the Structural Awards 2021 and past president, IStructE, looks at the winning projects from around the world that highlight outstanding sustainable structural design. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[307],"tags":[594,85860,430,636,93645,106180,592,465],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-104613","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-energy-news","7":"tag-building-design","8":"tag-construction-video","9":"tag-energy-efficiency","10":"tag-engineering","11":"tag-net-zero","12":"tag-pbc-today-february-2022","13":"tag-skills","14":"tag-sustainable-construction"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sustainable structural design: The Structural Awards 2021<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Prof T Ibell, chair of the judges, Structural Awards 2021, looks at the winning projects from around the world that highlight sustainable structural design\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/sustainable-structural-design\/104613\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sustainable structural design: The Structural Awards 2021\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Prof T Ibell, chair of the judges, Structural Awards 2021, looks at the winning projects from around the world that highlight sustainable structural design\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/sustainable-structural-design\/104613\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
