Are Your Projects Costing The Earth?

Event date: 
Fri, 27/05/2011 - 08:00 - 09:15
Speaker: 
James Fiske, Head of Economoic Research, Franklin + Andrews

 It is no longer enough to make design and specification decisions based on the financial cost alone without giving due consideration of any environmental impact witnessed throughout the life of the project.

The awareness of cost and environment coupled with legislative pressures, spiralling energy costs and higher profile public ethics is resulting in a need to demonstrate design choices that incorporate intelligent and sensible green sustainable solutions.

The presentation addresses the concept and methodology of linking the measurement processes for cost and carbon, in order to develop measurement efficiency and consistency in the industry.


 

Are Your Projects Costing The Earth?
James Fiske

Construction Industry Group

It is no longer enough to make design and specification decisions based on the financial cost alone without giving due consideration of any environmental impact witnessed throughout the life of the project.

The initial selection of building materials and components is intrinsically linked to the performance of the facility throughout its life. Every time a component is replaced, it results in both a financial and an environmental cost and therefore it is important that these issues should no longer be considered independently when appraising a project.

The awareness of cost and environment coupled with legislative pressures, spiralling energy costs and higher profile public ethics is resulting in a need to demonstrate design choices that incorporate intelligent and sensible green sustainable solutions.

The presentation addresses the concept and methodology of linking the measurement processes for cost and carbon, in order to develop measurement efficiency and consistency in the industry.

James is an Associate of Franklin + Andrews the construction economics division of Mott MacDonald Ltd and manages the Economic Research Unit. The Unit, formed by Franklin + Andrews over fifteen years ago, is the world’s largest producers and publishers of construction cost and carbon data.
