Retrofitting existing buildings presents technical challenges, but it's a crucial step in our journey to net-zero. The construction industry's problem-solving capability is key in meeting this commitment. How do you think the industry can overcome these challenges and pave the way for a sustainable future? Share your thoughts! #NetZero #ConstructionIndustry #RetrofittingChallenges

Interesting read on the path to net-zero buildings. This article explores the crucial role of the construction industry in achieving the UK's net-zero 2050 target. As 42% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions are influenced by the built environment, decarbonising existing building stock is essential to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint. Question for discussion: How can the construction industry leverage engineering excellence and innovation to overcome the challenges of retrofitting existing buildings and contribute to achieving net-zero emissions? #NetZeroConstruction #BuildingInnovation #SustainabilityGoals #Retrofit

So, why should we care about these materials? Because these materials are not just building blocks; they're stepping stones towards a more sustainable and eco-friendly construction industry. They're about making sure our planet remains a home for future generations while keeping up with our modern infrastructure needs. Let's start a conversation! What are your thoughts on these innovative materials? Are there any projects you know of that are utilising these green solutions? https://lnkd.in/ecSpBxq8 #Sustainability #InnovationInConstruction #GreenBuilding #FutureOfConstruction

Circular construction combined to slow deconstruction makes a lot of sense.

“Building more sustainably is a typical case of a win-win, for people and the world.” Rianne Koster and Willy Bulsink explain the importance of financing circular and nature-inclusive construction.

The construction industry is under increasing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint, and a significant focus has been placed on low-carbon #concrete. As both public and private sectors push for more sustainable building solutions, low-carbon concrete has emerged as a key player in reducing the carbon impact of construction.

In a world where sustainability is paramount, the construction industry is constantly seeking innovative solutions to reduce its environmental impact. As industry leaders, we must embrace innovative approaches like rammed-earth construction to build a more sustainable and resilient future. By learning from the past and integrating modern technologies, we can create a built environment that not only meets our needs today but also preserves the planet for future generations. #Construction #Sustainability #InnovativeBuildingMaterials

Did you know that reducing embodied carbon in construction is crucial for lowering the immediate environmental impact of buildings? Unlike operational carbon, embodied carbon is fixed once construction is complete, making its reduction vital for sustainable construction. Timber stands out as a superior choice for reducing embodied carbon due to its carbon sequestration capabilities, renewability, and energy efficiency. My guide for housebuilders offers actionable steps you can take to understand embodied carbon and lower the environmental impact of your next project: https://lnkd.in/deTUEBaz #SustainableConstruction #EmbodiedCarbon #Timber #GreenBuilding
