Sir Robert McAlpine’s adoption of materials passports on 1 Broadgate, in the City of London, triumphed in the Delivering Sustainability with Digital Innovation category, sponsored by Zero, at the Digital Construction Awards last night (2 July).
It is the first large-scale project in the UK to deploy them. By doing so, both McAlpine and its client British Land are achieving a milestone in their respective journeys toward net zero while also setting a standard for the industry to follow.
Materials passports are digital and interoperable datasets that collect the description of building materials to record what they are made of. They provide a reliable source of information that allows contractors, their clients and the supply chain to track the materials used during construction and throughout the life of a building. Crucially, they help minimise embodied carbon by reducing the wasteful usage of raw materials.
