Founded in 2020 by Toby Maclean to address the urgent need to decarbonise the built environment with a particular emphasis on carbon embodied in structures
It feels a bit wrong here on ex-Twitter for some reason so we're moving to Mastodon. Please find us at @AlltEnvironmental@mastodon.social.
We'll check in here occasionally.
We may have found a use for the new low-rent Twitter. Who can identify this drain-dwelling creature? There is no apparent access to the drain other than from the sewers or via surface gullies...
We'd like to correct the @10DowningStreet statement yesterday that the UK has "reduced carbon emissions in this country faster than any other major economy". See graph below for a selection of countries. On a consumption basis we can't spot a steeper downward curve for the UK.
Over at @AlltEnvironmental@mastodon.social we've posted links to our latest blog on how to know you've reached the right level of insulation on a building (if all you care about is CO2 emissions):

Planning just consented or this play scheme in Kings Cross by @erectarch. Specified with re-used steel, concrete-less foundations and cork-based safety surfacing.

This is Allt's new office in the heart of Edinburgh's Roseburn area (the building, not the red analogue messaging device in the foreground). We'll move in as soon as we get some time...
Worth remembering that paperless offices & systems are not carbonless offices & systems. Data storage & access emits CO2. We're no experts but we've acted to reduce our website CO2 & viewing a page emits an average 0.13gCO2. With thanks to @efwalliance who will audit your website
We're still looking!

(post script: we're afraid you're likely to need to have the right to work in the UK already as we are not registered with the Home Office as sponsors for work visas)
Any brilliant, enthusiastic structural engineers who may be interested in working with or for us please get in touch. Eager-to-learn or seasoned pros welcome to enquire.
Based in the beautiful sunny city of Edinburgh.
