MONTREAL, Jan. 20, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin (TSX:
SNC), a fully integrated professional services and project
management company with offices around the world, today launches
DecarbonomicsTM, a data-driven solution to decarbonize
the built environment in a cost-effective way and accelerate the
global journey to net zero.
The DecarbonomicsTM initiative builds on
SNC-Lavalin's methods and practices to deliver high-performing
buildings and developments, interconnected by smart and green
systems and infrastructure. It is being launched as both private
and public sectors are looking at ways to reduce their carbon
emissions at pace as the built environment contributes around 40%
of global carbon emissions and the majority of the buildings that
will exist in 2050 are already built.
"Creating the net zero communities of the future relies, in
part, on effective decarbonization of existing assets.
DecarbonomicsTM is a concrete example of how we can help
clients meet their net zero targets and is in line with our
comprehensive Engineering Net Zero approach," said
Ian L. Edwards, President and CEO,
SNC-Lavalin. "We provide sustainable solutions by connecting
people, data and technology in partnership with clients such as the
UK Goverment Property Agency, delivering decarbonization for its
450-building portfolio."
DecarbonomicsTM brings together SNC-Lavalin's
expertise and knowledge of building services, engineering design,
asset management, project management, cost consulting, data
analytics and data visualizations. Founded on the decarbonization
of existing building portfolios, DecarbonomicsTM is
an end-to-end service based on a simple three-step approach of
benchmarking, road mapping and delivery of an organization's
decarbonization program:
- Benchmark: develop a carbon baseline
- Roadmap: design a cost-effective carbon reduction pathway
- Deliver: implement our carbon reduction solutions
The three-step approach is underpinned by Carbon Data Insights,
a diverse mix of global open-source benchmark databases as well as
SNC-Lavalin's own rich building data library. The result is a
decarbonized estate, achieved through the strategy for achieving
carbon reduction from behaviour change to building retrofit
interventions, and measuring progress across the portfolio and
asset lifecycle.
"DecarbonomicsTM is founded on the principle of
systems thinking and brings our diverse expertise and knowledge of
the built environment and buildings together in a way that enables
us to make carbon visible at the portfolio level. This empowers our
clients to make much more informed decisions about their
investments in decarbonization," said Stuart McLaren, the DecarbonomicsTM
Development Director, SNC-Lavalin.
