Thursday was built environment day, so I found myself back in the Green Zone to discuss the actions needed by our industry to tackle the climate crisis.

Today was Energy Day, and I found myself back in the Green Zone talking with people who speak my language! From biofuels to wind turbines, every type of energy generation you can think of was represented, with each proponent claiming their own would save the world.

I’ve been carrying out embodied carbon analysis for more than 5 years now, so I was very interested going into events surrounding the impact of construction on the climate. Other companies in the building services industry have been very vocal on how they’ve reduced carbon footprints in real-life projects, and I also had a number of discussions with those attending on how we’ve managed to achieve the same feat in many of our own projects.

Today was a day for venturing. I stopped by some of the fringe events being set up around the city, including the Sustainable Glasgow Landing Hub. The Hub is host to several interesting projects, including the COP26 House, a wooden constriction that is innovative to its’ core, designed with circularity and achieves low embodied carbon in its’ design.

Whilst there were some notable absences in the Blue Zone, across the river the Green Zone was filled with voices demanding to #letusin.
