Indeed, there is always more that can be done. Here, we explore the role that a digital management information system (MIS) can play in the journey to net zero.
It’s a scary statistic that around 50% of a building’s total embodied carbon is specified during Stage Two of the RIBA Plan of Works (PoW): Concept Design. While this is a significant amount, structural and civil engineers are already taking the steps needed to make a change at this construction phase; yet there still remains another 50% of embodied carbon to be considered. Every stage of the RIBA PoW generates carbon, making it everyone’s responsibility to do their bit, make changes and work greener.
One such way is to employ a management information system (MIS) at the fabrication and manufacturing stage. While primarily developed to help improve efficiency and productivity levels, contributing to a more streamlined fabrication and manufacturing process, this tool can also lead to sustainability...
