retrofitting needs rethink on how we reuse structure, facades and services to maximise investment for our clients and minimise impact on the carbon. it's a mindset shift

Does retrofit truly deliver a prime product? “It absolutely can deliver a prime product, saving cost, time and materials compared to building from scratch” Meet Julia Allison, Associate and Retrofit Leader, as she shares insights into how retrofit can in fact deliver better outcomes, compared to new build. Let’s open up the conversation around retrofit. Find out more in our latest article from our Global Retrofit Leader, Steve Fernandez who discusses why retrofit is the smart, sustainable option, here: https://lnkd.in/dmhNEgWs #Retrofit #Decarbonisation #SustainableDesign #LowCarbonFuture #BuiltEnvironment #NetZero #Sustainability

Sustainability in construction starts with smarter material choices!!! Recycled SBR is increasingly integrated into eco-friendly building materials, helping projects align with LEED and other green certification standards. Its use contributes to energy efficiency, reduced waste, and a longer lifecycle for modern infrastructure shaping the future of sustainable building design. At Quirky Trading, we believe that every sustainable product begins with a responsible material. #SBR #Sustainability #GreenBuilding #CircularEconomy #LEED #ConstructionInnovation #EcoMaterials #QuirkyTrading #SBRInsights #RecyclingInnovation #WasteManagement #RubberRecycling #EnvironmentalImpact #ResourceEfficiency #ZeroWaste #SustainableManufacturing #RecycledMaterials #MaterialRecovery #EcoFriendly

Hi ya'll! Question; How does Embodied Carbon Affect Store concept & Development? When we talk about carbon in design, we usually think about operations; lighting, heating, cooling. But long before a store opens, a large part of its emissions is already locked in. That is embodied carbon. Embodied carbon measures the greenhouse gas emissions from extracting, producing, transporting, and installing materials. It is expressed in kilograms of CO₂ per square metre (kg CO₂/m²). Every material, from concrete to metals to MDF, carries a carbon cost. Selecting materials with lower embodied carbon often looks more expensive in the early life cycle stages (LCA 1 and 2). Yet over time, in LCA 4, those same choices can become cost effective. By then, circular processes and reuse systems are in place — reducing waste, cutting emissions, and creating long term savings. The goal is not only to design beautifully, but to design responsibly — stores that are lighter on the planet and smarter for the future. #Sustainability #RetailDesign #CircularDesign #EmbodiedCarbon #LowCarbon #ESG #BuiltEnvironment #DesignForCircularity #CarbonReduction #StoreDevelopment #SustainableMaterials
