Celebrated annually on the 23rd June, International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) endeavours to raise the profile of women working in engineering and encourage more women and girls to pursue a career in the sector. Launched in the UK as National Women in Engineering Day, this campaign was developed by the Women’s Engineering Society to mark its 95th anniversary. The campaign has grown enormously since it began in 2014, receiving UNESCO patronage in 2016 before finding a worldwide following in 2017 and subsequently becoming International Women in Engineering Day. This year’s theme, #ImagineTheFuture, looks to today’s female inventors and innovators; those who will change the industry for the better.[1] To commemorate this, we’ve interviewed Emily Bramble, a young, female engineer, about her experience of the industry and hopes for its future.

Globally, heating domestic and commercial buildings ‘accounts for nearly half of all energy consumption and 40% of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions.'[1] Approximately 19% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions can be attributed to warming houses and workplaces, with more than three-quarters of these emissions coming from domestic dwellings.[2] Ensuring that buildings are suitably insulated and appropriately air-tight can reduce heat loss, thereby improving energy efficiency, decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, and minimising property owners’ carbon footprints.
