At @FuturebuildNow 2020 we continued the #supportinghealthybuildings campaign encouraging the construction industry to construct buildings which support occupant and environmental health.

Just stop and think for a moment ... if we manage to retrofit all our 29M buildings to #Passivhaus by 2050, we only just manage to get to #NetZero ... that’s 1 home every 36 seconds, starting now. #RealityCheck – at Liss, England
Why #Passivhaus is a route to #netzerocarbon - if all buildings (new & #retrofit) were #passivehouse by 2050 - we'd just about have enough #renewables to supply them

Craig Robertson @AHMMArchitects @RIBA 2030Challenge: non-domestic building targets. Work with all profession. Set goals at early stages monitor/review/measure. @Mariaisasmith Think differently about maintenance/repair. Internalise new design aesthetic. Tech we need already exists

Great show but does the future of building really include cement screed with polystyrene aggregate, ICF filled with concrete and rebar and plastic wood? #futurebuild #plasticsinconstrution

“It’s not about your resources, it’s about your resourcefulness” – Tony Robbins, American author.
Resourcefulness can be ensured by making use of the materials we have readily available for building. Natural materials are readily available for use and they are sustainable.

1 ⚽️soccer field (1ha) wheat, yields🍞and also ~4000kg straw = 266 HD Strawbales
1 #Strawbale weighs ~15kg at 36 x 48 x 95cm
2 Bales form ~1m² durable, highly insulated wall
266 Bales = 133m² wall surface
A small #passivehouse or several apartments in a multiple dwelling.

We've made a start laying out the design of the stove on the floor of the barn. The #claylump blocks are ready. Today we make lots of earth mortar. Still a couple of places available on course starting next Tuesday #buildingcommunity #lowtech #earthbuilding #naturalbuilding
Very excited to be building a #masonrystove at Orchard Barn next month. It may look something like one of these stoves. We'll be using #naturalbuilding materials and running a five day #course

Site visit to one of our barn conversion projects now under construction. Solar panels on their allotment means they are now completely off-grid and rarely need to use the generator.

It's the final day of @FuturebuildNow 2019!
We'd love to hear how you define sustainability in the built environment. Drop in & tell us, on STAND B143 in the #KnowledgeForum.
