By 2030, the government has set a target for social housing properties to achieve an energy performance certificate (EPC) band C, and 1.2 million properties in England alone will require retrofitting measures to make them warmer, more comfortable and more efficient 🏘️     In our latest insights article Neb Augustinov, Retrofit Lead at Ridge, details some steps on how to decarbonise social housing 👉 https://lnkd.in/eWg7UxaJ    Neb and a team from Ridge will be at the HOMES UK and Unlock Net Zero Live event at ExCel, London on the 27 and 28 November 2024 (Stand H520) and would love to connect with any attendees before or at the event.    Steve Cooper | Mark Astbury FRICS CIHCM | Yusuf Siddiqui DMS CIHM | Becky Hutton | James Smith | Dan Hubberstey    #WarmHomes #SocialHousing #Retrofit #NetZero #BuiltEnvironment

Rosie Camburn, Civil and Structural Engineering Partner, hosted over 450 attendees last week for the Structural Engineers Declare Summit 2024 with Gary Elliott and Diego Padilla-Philipps.     Buildings and construction account for nearly 40% of energy-related CO2 emissions whilst also having a significant impact on our natural habitats. For those of us in the construction industry, this issue demands a paradigm shift in our behaviour. The summit explored how the UK structural engineering community can drive bold climate action.    Duncan Baker-Brown inspired some new ideas on sourcing materials and workforces locally, being creative with the reuse of existing building elements and the idea of ‘mine the anthroposphere, harvest the biosphere’.     There were discussions on the use of materials such as concrete and secondary timber, as well as sand mining and the transportation of sand by air. It turns out ‘flying sand to the desert’ isn't just a metaphor.    It was a brilliant event full of knowledge sharing and insightful discussions, cementing the need to design buildings, cities and infrastructures as indivisible components of a constantly self-sustaining system in balance with the natural world.     The Institution of Structural Engineers | Fragkoulis Kanavaris | Philip Isaac | Kiran Pereira    #EngineersDeclare #Sustainability #ClimateAction #StructuralEngineering #CircularEconomy

✅ Project completion: a college summer makeover    We’ve recently completed the refurbishment of the College Green campus reception at City of Bristol College, bringing the space to life to provide a vibrant new student hub.    The refurbishment included a refreshed entrance for the campus, brand new coffee shop and extensive changes to the external courtyard which now provides a great outdoor social space for students and staff to enjoy.     Jason Headington MRICS, Project Manager, said: “This project is a testament to our ongoing successful collaboration with the City of Bristol College. Construction was only possible over the College summer holiday but thanks to the hard work of all involved we successfully delivered the project in time for the start of the new term.” Ridge provided Project Management, Cost Management, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and Structural Engineering services.    Priya Mistry | Simon George MRICS | Mark Ferrier | Chris Underwood | Sam Main  Architect: Studio LIME Ltd Contractor: Oakland Construction Ltd.    #CityofBristolCollege #MyBristolCollege #WhereNext #CollegeGreen #BuiltEnvironment
