• The Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design has turned a pre-1940s building into a first-of-its-kind living lab and energy-positive prototype. Called HouseZero, it's intended to produce more energy over its lifetime than was used to renovate it and throughout its subsequent operation. Inefficient existing buildings is one of the biggest energy problems we face today, and we are very proud to be have been the lead energy engineer on this project.

• Work to transform Euston station and deliver extra capacity as part of the HS2 project took a very visible step forward this week, with the arrival of the project’s first tower crane. Delivered last week and assembled over four days, the 66m high crane will be the first of three in the Euston area and comes a week after the completion of the station’s new taxi rank. This progress allows HS2 to push ahead with the demolition of One Euston Square and Grant Thornton House, which stand above the entrance and exit to Euston’s old underground taxi rank. Expected to take around 10 months to complete, their removal will be the biggest change to the Euston skyline for almost fifty years. The Costain and Skanska joint venture (CSjv), working with expert subcontractors McGee, is already hard at work, stripping out the interiors and erecting the scaffolding that will support acoustic screening around the buildings. The screening, designed to limit noise and dust, will cover the two 1970s towers, with 93% of the material from the building set to be recycled or reused. The deconstruction itself will happen floor by floor, with waste material removed via the building’s lift shafts.
