At @FuturebuildNow 2020 we continued the #supportinghealthybuildings campaign encouraging the construction industry to construct buildings which support occupant and environmental health. To learn more about the campaign visit: steico.com/en/news/campaign/ #Futurebuild2020

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

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

Barbara Jones is with us in the #NaturalBuilding area at @FuturebuildNow talking about #straw and other #organic materials that naturally store #carbon, creating #zerocarbon or even #carbonnegative #buildings @strawworks #naturalmaterials
What’s on at #Futurebuild2020 - Barbara Jones @strawworks on alternative building materials that store and utilise carbon and increase efficiency.
We have Barbara Jones from the School of Natural Building up next demonstrating how to build with Straw Bales on the NBUK stand at 3:00. #schoolofnathra1 #Futurebuild #StrawBaleUK
