Challenges for Professions in Low Carbon Construction: Research, Innovation, and Skills

This document outlines the challenges faced by the construction profession in transitioning to low carbon and sustainable practices. It emphasizes the need for a comprehensive national plan that encompasses policy development, education, and new service offers focused on whole life assessments. Key topics include aligning educational curricula with industry needs, promoting Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a collaborative tool for innovation, and emphasizing the importance of retrofit skills. Strategies for achieving low-carbon solutions while maintaining cost-effectiveness are also explored.

  2. The Broad Agenda National Plan and Programme Consultation Platform Policy and Tool Development New Service offer development Re-education of everyone

  3. Policy and Tool Development ------- 2050 Group (8.5) Consultation Platform (8.1) ------- • Map of policies and initiatives (3.2) (5.4) • Data, tools and skills (3.10) • Standards, incl. TC350 • Whole life service (3.12) (CIC Services extension) • Whole life assessment systems & tools (2.1, 2.2, 5.3, 6.13) • Infrastructure evaluation on a system basis (7.1,2,3) • Retrofit research BIM GROUP (3.11) -------

  4. New Service Offer Models for customer-focussed, whole life, DBO Service (3.6) Procurement models for low-cost, low carbon construction (3.6)

  5. Making Low Carbon cost neutral Research Support Facility, Golden, Colorado, 2010 Architectural Record, Dec 2010, p120

  6. Construction has been uncompetitive

  7. Education and Skills - Merger of Sector Skills Councils (3.9) - Alignment of curricula, incl CPD - Recognition of new specialisms - Accreditation of LC skilled firms (3.14) - Voluntary postings of DEC’s (6.22) - Diffusion of retrofit skills (5.7) - Shared knowledge communities - Recalibrated award schemes

  8. Why the emphasis on BIM? • Seen as catalytic to LC Construction • Powerful collaboration tool • Supports design stimulation • Reduced risk, cost and waste • Supports whole life service to clients • Enables better education and training

  9. A new meaning for ‘LC’ • Le Corbusier • – architect who called the house: • “a machine for living in” • Low Carbon and Low Cost • LC2
