Irish Construction News features the latest news and in-depth analysis of the central issues and initiatives driving Irish construction. In this issue, we speak with Juan Morillas, Chair of the IGBC Whole Life Carbon Committee and Sisk Head of Sustainable Design, who says that reducing embodied carbon first requires designers and builders to “use less stuff” and he emphasises that the sector needs to be much more open and collaborative if it is serious about decarbonisation. Robbie McGrath, Head of Sustainability, D/RES Properties, discusses how the country’s 3rd largest housebuilder is working with its supply chain and customers to reduce embodied carbon. Our projects feature Phase 1 of Sisk's Bonham Quay project in Galway and Vision Contracting's Mallow Castle Park renovations.
The IGBC’s Marion
Jammet and Linda Onzule outline how developing a national sustainability skills
roadmap is critical to the building of high-quality, sustainable homes.
