https://t.co/eC4gf3xqmN, vacuum glass panels with u-values around 0.4 , bound to be pricy but looks good, reducing heat gains and heat losses…

[UCL RAEng CoE SBD @UCL_sbd]

Such a fun, eccentric, great person, and will be fondly remembered by many.

[CIBSEJournal @CIBSEJournal]

Very sad to hear of Max Fordham's passing. A brilliant and pioneering engineer who was at the forefront of sustainable building design for over half a century. https://t.co/2GWsZMxYs4

Swedish plywood: the miraculous eco-town with a 20-storey wooden skyscraper. “There remain barriers in the way..but as the only truly sustainable building material – with benefits in speed, health & wellness beyond the carbon saving – the future is wood.” https://t.co/Pevuht5Ww8

Good paper, IAQ not just how much ventilation you have, but where the air comes from and where it goes.

[CIBSE @CIBSE]

In a summary of his winning paper at @cibse Technical Symposium, @ventiveltd's Tom Lipinski discusses the evidence available for the best methods for ventilating buildings in a 'Covid-conscious future' iin @cibsejournal https://t.co/TYd0mHUIJr

This tall wooden high-rise in Berlin looks interesting, pushing the limits of timber frame

China Eagle Schwarzvald (Black Forest) development in Shanghai is an interesting looking project, apparently German designer and construction, looks expensive, with some sustainable features, difficult to find actual performance for it though. https://t.co/HcbobYNto7

[UCL RAEng CoE SBD @UCL_sbd]

This passed by me and is very interesting, might well interest many others. Low density sustainable housing development in China. Container based construction, plenty of information on water, waste management and green walls and roofs. https://t.co/Cn8TlQZfOZ

I like this project, using Mediterranean seagrass Posidonia, as insulation.

[ECOLA Award @AwardEcola]

The project "Life Reusing Posidonia/14 social dwellings" (https://t.co/kScEHLxJE2) embellishes Sant Ferran on the island of Formentera. The project of IBAVI reached the round of the best 11 in its category at the #ECOLAaward.

This looks an interesting project, linking together two towers instead of demolishing, https://t.co/OHFPvIswsL Brisbane Midtown Centre

I love this project of turning ocean plastic waste into new kayaks, great work! @CleanOSailing and @ocean_recovery

i like the look of these clay houses, obviously needs a solution for keeping the rain off in certain climates.

Our @UCL_EDE graduate Ian Hamilton one of the main authors of this important @IEA report. "2019 Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction: Towards a zero-emissions, efficient and resilient buildings and construction sector."

[Efficient Buildings Europe 🏠🏢 @Efficient_Bldgs]

A few take aways from the new @IEA publication...
🔺Buildings are essential for clean energy transition
🔺Government effort is critical to make sustainable buildings a reality
🔺Immediate action is needed & will bring multiple benefits
🔺Portfolio of solutions available today
