With the goal to achieve carbon neutrality across their UK portfolio of projects by 2045, Skanska have developed practical data driven tools that allow for timely interventions both in construction projects and within their facilities management activities.

The carbon impact of a building from design to operation relies heavily on the plant and equipment installed and maintained as part of a project.

Recognising the urgency to provide comprehensive carbon and energy information for achieving sustainability aspirations and future-proofing assets, Skanska is leveraging digital technology using their own smart building platform and advanced carbon calculation methods for plant and equipment. An expert panel will discuss:

• how to facilitate scrutiny and discussions with all stakeholders about carbon and operational energy performance throughout a building's lifecycle
• how digital tools and services can be used to assess a building's carbon impact from design through to operation
• how to achieve improved efficiencies through data-driven maintenance
