#ClmateEmergency - ⁦@EURBANLimited⁩ has been supplying #CLT - cross-laminated #timber - for use in #construction for a long time. This is great way to reduce #embodiedcarbon if only #architects & #engineers would change mindsets bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000qy…

The blame game is already & predictably ridiculous. Good job we kept the receipts...

I will respectfully challenge the Government - I want our country to succeed. However, I will not 'watch my tone' when dozens of NHS and care staff are dying unnecessarily. A clip of my Q to the Health Sec today.

Yesterday I knocked on my Tennant's door and told him he can stay in the property rent free for 5 months. He is self employed with 4 kids. I don't need Boris to tell me what is morally correct. Landlords, if you can, do more, do something. #COVID19 #BeNice

So...we had the opportunity to advertise in this month's .@nlalondon #newlondonquarterly. But did we show off 1 of our beautiful buildings? No. A pretty render? No. Utopian visions of a future London? No. Instead, we made a call to arms. Let's #domore, let's #dobetter. #wakeup

Q: Can prefab Passivhaus deliver the quantity needed to help the housing crisis, plus quality required to meet decarbonisation demands? @PassivhausTrust at @UK_CW 2018

Seriously are L&G saying that CLT isn't accurate enough for their modular offering... lnkd.in/gqknKRd lnkd.in/gB4VN6b

I feel this is where Passivhaus let’s us down. In the pursuit of a magic number clients are unable to use products such as wood fibre and have to accept nasty and unsustainable petrochemical based insulation. Performance over substance. CLT and Woodfibre #biophilicdesign xitter.cf/indinatureco/status/10… – at East, England
OK, WE KNOW IT'S JUST INSULATION BUT.. why use non-renewable resources to make flammable, petrochemical, high carbon insulations which emit toxic VOCs, end up in landfill, irritate builder’s lungs and trap moisture leading to mould? @The_Lighthouse @EdCentreCC #CircularEconomy

The Cube tidy site, tidy mind... 4 days on site and only half a skip of polythene wrapping, unlike the other plots around us.
