Episode guests: Michael Schwartz from RIB Software, Ole Berard from Molio, Teemu Lehtinen from KIRAHub Episode sponsor: AEC Hackathon and BLOXHUB The AEC Hackathons are an amazing event over different weekends in different countries. Over the first weekend of March we took an opportunity to get stuck in and record a panel debate and more content. Last minute we decided to run a panel around a key question which had no prep time!

Episode sponsor: BIMCoordinators Summit by BIM Hero and ArcDox ZERO hosted the ZERO Carbon stage at BIM Coordinators Summit in Dublin, September 2023. We hosted two great panel sessions and this is the second of two. How does construction pay to decarbonise is a fascinating question which I hear often and seen answered both well and poorly.
