Adaptive reuse works as an affordable housing mechanism, but developers and the design team must confront and quantify the practical constraints in every project.

A new prestandard provides a standardized path for carbon assessments.

Sustainable buildings begin with owner and developer consciousness, and their sustainability-focused decisions begin long before design and construction.

This is the fifth of a series of lists developed by the SE2050 Resources Working Group to communicate essential information that every structural engineer should understand about the topic of embodied carbon as they approach their work, and it is focused on wood.

Essential information regarding embodied carbon and concrete are shared here. This is the second of a series of lists developed by the SE 2050 Resources Working Group.

The SE 2050 Resources Working Group developed a list of essential information about embodied carbon as structural engineers approach their work.

It’s time for an update to your concrete specifications.

Combining viscous dampers with advanced structural design technologies can be effective in identifying optimized retrofit solutions.

This article focuses on the new roles and responsibilities of structural engineers to lower embodied carbon, and how to collectively advance lower carbon concrete usage responsibly.

Since 2020, the SE 2050 Commitment Program has collected emissions data of over 500 building projects with corresponding structural design characteristics. Key takeaways from the inaugural analysis of the database are shared here.
