Project managers have traditionally measured the viability of a project design or materials choice as a triangle, balancing cost, scope and performance. With the addition of carbon, this triangle becomes a three-sided pyramid, with four considerations each interacting with the others.
Materials suppliers and project designers now have a wealth of carbon cutting innovations available to them. They can use materials derived from plant sources, replace fossil fuels used in materials processing, and use electric vehicles for delivery. The challenge is to show clients the carbon benefits of these innovations, while continuing to be mindful of cost, scope and performance.
In this episode, we talk to two experts about the tools and methods available to assess carbon cutting innovations, and to compare them using the new project management pyramid.
