About this Event
Hybrid In-person / Online Event
We will hear from two expert speakers, addressing different facets of
sustainability with practical advice on integrating embodied carbon
considerations into everyday structural engineering work.
First, Muiris Moynihan from Laing O’Rourke will provide an important update on
the institution’s sustainability initiatives, outlining both the new standards
expected of members and the resources available to support compliance. He’ll
then given a concise CPD briefing, offering practical techniques to calculate
embodied carbon quickly and accurately in your own projects.
Next, we'll dive into real-world applications: Richa Sud from TTW will share a
compelling case study demonstrating how embodied carbon was effectively
integrated into a project’s design phase.
The evening will conclude with a dynamic panel discussion featuring both
speakers, offering an interactive Q&A session to explore your questions and
insights further.
Speaker 1`:
Muiris Moynihan, Technical Leader for Sustainability, Laing O’Rourke
Muiris is the Sustainability Technical Leader at Laing O’Rourke, working to
decarbonise construction projects in collaboration with designers, clients and
supply-chain partners. He has over 15 years’ experience spanning design,
research (both academic and applied), and construction delivery, gained in
Europe and Australia. His PhD examined ways to use less material in
construction, which he has translated into practice through a number of
innovative initiatives, including award-winning low-carbon precast columns. A
chartered structural engineer and environmentalist, he is Chair of the Institution
of Structural Engineers’ Sustainability Panel, advocating for efficient, low-carbon
design in the built environment. He also sits on the Institution’s Climate
Emergency Task Group and Australia Regional Group committee.
Speaker 2:
Richa Sud, Sustainable Design Lead, TTW
Richa is the Sustainable Design Lead at TTW, working at the intersection of
engineering, data, and strategy to reduce emissions from the built environment.
With a background in structural engineering and data analytics, she focuses on
integrating sustainability into business strategy and project delivery. Her work
connects TTW’s digital tools with everyday engineering practice to enable
practical, project-based interventions that support low-carbon outcomes. She
ensures embodied carbon is treated as a core design parameter from early
concept through to construction. She works towards making sustainability
tangible and achievable, translating strategic intent into real-world impact across
projects and portfolios.
