Sostenibilidad Urbanismo

Sustainability and decarbonisation criteria in urbanisation projects.

17:30 CEST (Spain) | 10:30 GMT-5 (Colombia)

WEBINAR – 30 SEPTEMBER

In this masterclass we tell you about the main strategies for sustainable and circular management of water and materials in urbanisation projects, as well as having a rigorous control of carbon emissions, taking as an example the renovation of the Rambla Modolell in Viladecans. The calculation of the carbon footprint is a pioneering initiative in the accounting and transparency of emissions (Phases A1-A5). To this end, life cycle analysis is implemented, a methodology that allows the environmental impact to be calculated and recorded at each stage of the project.

metodos modernos de contruccion

Applications of Industrialization in Building Projects in Spain.

17:30 CEST (Spain) | 10:30 GMT-5 (Colombia)

WEBINAR – OCTOBER 1

Learn how Modern Construction Methods (CMMs) and Design for Industrialization, Assembly and Disassembly (DfMAD) can transform your projects, reducing costs, minimizing errors, and fostering decarbonization. We will analyse success stories, such as the VIVE Plan and some of the America's Cup piers in Barcelona.

Congreso Ingeniería Circular

II Congress of Circular Engineering of the SOCOTEC Chair

CONGRESS – 2 OCTOBER

This year, the event focuses on the importance of Energy Savings Certificates (EACs) as a key financing tool to reduce energy consumption. Through case studies, we will discover how companies undertaking energy efficiency projects can benefit. In addition, relevant agents of the process will contribute their technical and regulatory vision, sharing experiences and approaches to maximise energy savings and contribute to the decarbonisation of the Spanish economy.

On the occasion of the European Week for Sustainable Development, SOCOTEC experts offer a series of thematic conferences on the main challenges of the energy and environmental transition.

Committed to Sustainability: Our Expertise and Technical Contribution

At Socotec, we are committed to sustainability in all its dimensions. Our expertise is reflected in a wide range of sustainable projects and in the many technical articles we have developed.

These articles highlight our innovative solutions in energy efficiency, sustainable construction, environmental management and circular economy. With every project, from green buildings to resilient infrastructure, we reaffirm our commitment to the environment, demonstrating how it is possible to combine technical innovation with social and environmental responsibility.

SOCOTEC's Green Trust strategy aims to reduce our carbon emissions in accordance with the SBTI methodology to ensure that SOCOTEC complies with a global warming scenario of 1.5 degrees Celsius (according to the Paris Agreement, 2015), as well as to consolidate 50% of our turnover by 2028 as Sustainable according to the European Taxonomy. Offering sustainable services is not an extra, but an obligation that today is already part of 28% of our services.

Sustainable Week

For 70 years, SOCOTEC has been guaranteeing the sustainability of buildings, facilities and infrastructures. We anticipate concepts such as DMfA&D or Non Destructive Testing, to extend the life of constructions.

Our services, GREEN TRUST by SOCOTEC, address these current societal challenges. These commitments contribute to a safer and more sustainable world and are included in our SOCOTEC Group's Annual Corporate Social Responsibility Report.
