With the push to net-zero embodied carbon, it is important for Structural engineers to specify sustainable construction materials.
Sustainability in Construction is often seen as this impossible goal, and many thinking that low carbon construction required the cost of the building to be expensive. how this is not the case, construction of a low embodied carbon design may actually be cheaper, through good design and knowing how your decision affects the embodied carbon in construction.
Far too often as structural engineers we think that we cannot impact the design of low carbon buildings, however, this is wrong. As engineers need to ensure that we are up to date with new sustainable construction methods and techniques to allow us to make informed design decisions.
Sustainable Construction doesn't require the designs to be more costly good designs are able to reduce the embodied carbon to allow for the construction of a low carbon building.

My name is Brendan and I am a structural engineer with over 15 years of experience based in Australia. I have a wide variety of projects from very small to some of the biggest in the southern hemisphere. I have a passion for good structural design and teaching/mentoring.
This channel is to share my passion for engineering and provide entertaining short clips on:
- tips for young engineers on progressing their careers
- anyone needing a refresher on any design element
- design approaches
- Review past engineering failures to improve structural knowledge
