DON'T WASTE BUILDINGS
DON'T WASTE BUILDINGS is the campaign to put a spotlight on embodied carbon and make the case for the productive use of empty and underperforming buildings.
These buildings, all over the UK, are untapped economic and social assets, not structures to be casually discarded.
DWB is calling on the UK government to tackle this by introducing regulation and financial incentives that will make the reuse of existing buildings simpler and more profitable.
The campaign is non-party political and is run by a collection of individuals made up of leading architects, engineers, property developers, financiers, heritage experts, and others.
DWB was co-founded in late 2022 by Leanne Tritton, Chair of The London Society and Founder of ING Media, Will Hurst, Managing Editor of The Architects’ Journal, and Richard Nelson, Managing Director of Abyss and Chair of the Institute of Directors Property and Built Environment Group.
We have about 150 members who attend our regular in-person meetings and case study tours, as well as over 800 members of our LinkedIn discussion group.
Please visit our LinkedIn group page to read the previous discussions, learn about the issues, and join the campaign to help reduce the impact of embodied carbon in the UK construction and real estate industries.
If you would like to get involved, feel free to message Richard Nelson via LinkedIn.
