Circular Economy Principles for Embodied Energy
Future of Structures Podcast
Danielle Tensley Tingley is a Professor of Architectural Engineering at the University of Sheffield, her research focuses on how to reduce the embodied carbon of our buildings. Today, cement alone accounts for 8% of the world emissions - which is actually more than cars! If we are to move to a low carbon economy, we inevitably won't be able to stop just at operational energy, we will need to also find the methods to reduce embodied energy down to zero also.

info_outlineDaniel Vogelnest is the founder of Ninox Robotics, who are leaders in drone and robotics technology. This is technology that 10 years ago - I would have thought is science fiction. You don't just need to listen this to understand the pace of improvement - not long ago the drones used by recreational uses were huge and expensive, years later they fit in a small back and are affordable to everyone. Ninox have some of the top technology and use it for commercial use. In the show we discuss:
- Capabilities of drones (range, speed, real time data)
- What type of information does it provide
- What are the top commercial uses and for drones
