Did you know it can take up to 80 years for a new energy-efficient building to achieve a lower-carbon impact than renovating an existing building? Need more proof to renovate instead of building from scratch? The numbers are in: - 40% of global CO2 emissions - 50% of global materials extracted - 1/3 of global waste Renovation can help to balance out such issues! Explore the financial, social, and environmental benefits of renovating existing assets instead of building new structures with us. Ready to act more responsibly with emissions?

“The sustainability case for renovation is clear cut.”   Did you know that the built environment is responsible for:   🌍 40% of global CO2 emissions 🗑️ 33% of global waste 🏙️ Nearly 50% of all extracted materials   This Earth Day, hear from Pernille Louise Klausen as she explains the impact of renovation over building new and why legislation means transforming existing buildings should be taken seriously: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eZMwyc6u   #EarthDay #LetsCloseTheGap #PartnerForSustainableChange #Sustainability #Renovation #Building #Construction

The built environment is responsible for 40% of global CO2 emissions, so how can we make the industry more sustainable? 🏙 In this edition, we explore why renovating buildings makes more sense than building new, as well as the energy trilemma and fair water management 👀 #Newsletter #Building #Construction #RenewableEnergy

How can the EU achieve energy security, affordability, and sustainability? 👀⚡   Known as the energy trilemma, recent challenges in Europe underscore the importance of finding the right balance between these three factors.   We interview Ask T. H. Brüel, Global Head of Energy and Utility at Ramboll, to delve into how policymakers are navigating this trilemma amidst the EU's energy transition.   From diversifying energy sources to promoting demand flexibility, find out the key takeaways and policy recommendations to address the issue: 👉 https://lnkd.in/evXzNjfy   #LetsCloseTheGap #EnergyTransition #PartnerForSustinableChange #SustainableEnergy #Sustainability

Are you planning a new construction project? Take a look at the benefits of renovation instead 🏙️ 👀   In pursuit of a more sustainable future, we must reevaluate the need for new construction, particularly when existing properties offer opportunities for repurposing and refurbishment. With careful planning and management, these repurposed assets could not only appeal to tenants but also be more resilient to a changing climate, catering to a variety of future needs and functions.   Swipe through to learn why renovating existing properties is crucial for reducing carbon emissions and costs in building projects 👇   And find out more about the benefits of renovation: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eZMwyc6u #LetsCloseTheGap #PartnerForSustainableChange #RespectReviewRenew

Unlocking the power of data for sustainable architecture 🌍🏙️ For the first time ever, we are making our carbon data for buildings openly available for all stakeholders across industry and governments through the CO2mpare database. Understanding carbon distribution in buildings is pivotal for decarbonisation. Yet, access to consistent data is not easy to come by. With CO2mpare, we are bridging this gap, offering insights from +130 projects worldwide. Key features include: 🔍 Reviewing carbon levels across six countries and ten typologies 🔄 Comparing new-builds vs. renovations 📊 Analysing carbon distribution within the dataset Paul Astle, Decarbonisation Lead at Ramboll, emphasises the importance of this initiative and the necessity for industry collaboration.

  Idag uppmärksammar vi världsvattendagen Temat för världsvattendagen 2024 är ”Water for Peace”. Vatten kan bidra till fred, eller skapa konflikt. Därför är det viktigt att komma ihåg att tillgång till vatten är en mänsklig rättighet och att det behövs samarbete för att hantera våra resurser på ett jämlikt sätt.  Via länken nedan kan du läsa om fyra projekt där Ramboll arbetar med just detta, och som vi tycker är goda exempel på rättvis och effektiv hantering av vattenresurser.     I ett av exemplen berättar Louise Ulveland från Ramboll Sverige om hur vi arbetar tillsammans med Röda Korset för att förbättra levnadsvillkoren i ett av världens största flyktingläger, Cox’s Bazar i Bangladesh, genom vattenhantering och lösningar för sanitet och hygien. 

Water is powerful. It can support peace or create damaging conflict within communities and between nations 💧 🤝   As we commemorate World Water Day under the theme “Water for Peace”, let’s recognise the crucial role water plays in fostering stability and harmony.   In a world grappling with climate change and unequal access to this vital resource, it’s imperative to collaborate for equitable water management.   Today, we’re looking at four of our water projects that reflect how we do that. From managing groundwater resources in California to rebuilding water infrastructure in Ukraine, explore how we integrate social, environmental, and geopolitical considerations for a brighter, water-secure future.   Read the full article: 👉 https://lnkd.in/esYxV_nQ   #WorldWaterDay #WaterForPeace #LetsCloseTheGap #PartnerForSustainableChange

This International Day of Forests, let's take a look back at last year's Rambøll Fonden / Ramboll Foundation award winner, Leonardo Miranda 👀🌳   In his award-winning project, Leonardo bridges the gap between biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation. His innovative approach integrates ecological and socio-economic data to identify priority areas for biodiversity conservation and habitat restoration in the Amazon rainforest, a region of unparalleled biodiversity facing relentless deforestation.   Leonardo's research not only addresses the urgent need to combat climate change but also underscores the vital importance of preserving biodiversity-rich regions like Pará, Brazil.   By translating academic knowledge into practical solutions, Leonardo's research promises to create a lasting impact, serving as a global model for decision-making in biodiversity conservation and climate change adaptation.   Find out more about Leonardo's work: 👉https://lnkd.in/eCd9VnjB   #InternationalDayOfForests #Conservation #Biodiversity
