Sustainability in construction is not just an option — it’s the path to a more responsible and balanced future 🏗️🌎 At Teppe, we believe that integrating eco-friendly and innovative practices into our projects is essential to creating spaces that respect both, people and the environment. We believe that the future of construction lies in sustainability, and we are committed to being part of that transformation. #teppe #teppeprojects  #sustainability  #sustainableconstruction  #smartbuilding  #sustainablevevelopment #greenrealestate #teppeproperties #realestate #construction  

Less Embodied Carbon + Stored Carbon = Lower Carbon Impact Wood has many attributes that make it well suited to sustainable design. Wood products have low embodied carbon compared to other building materials, which indicates fewer greenhouse gas emissions, and they continue to store carbon absorbed by the trees while they were growing. Wood is also natural and renewable. It can contribute to energy efficiency and biophilic design, and is durable, adaptable and re-useable. Explore woodworks.org for resources that can help you make informed sustainability decisions. Topics include life cycle assessment, carbon, environmental product declarations (EPDs) and more: https://lnkd.in/gwBNxFUb Have questions?

Exciting news from the world of sustainable construction! A building project in the Netherlands is showcasing the future of eco-friendly housing. Key highlights: • 20 flex homes built using 90% biobased materials • Innovative Wavin Ventiza air distribution system produced with biobased PVC that results to a 75% CO2 reduction. • Circular design principles for easy disassembly and reuse. This project demonstrates how modular, sustainable homes can be efficiently constructed using renewable resources. It's an interesting example of the construction industry's shift towards sustainability and circularity. "This is just the beginning of a long-term partnership with the same partners across the entire chain," says Chris van Vilsteren of Loohuis Assies. Are you ready to embrace the future of sustainable construction? Let's connect and discuss how we can work together to create a greener built environment!

I’m pleased to share my latest and first publication on the KREIS-Haus. The study introduces a systematic design concept that combines principles of the #circulareconomy, #CradletoCradle design, and #ecologicalengineering. It explores how these concepts can be translated from theory to practice, offering insights into their application at the KREIS-Haus and their potential for broader adoption. The publication not only details the concepts and materials used in the KREIS-Haus but also reflects on the insights and lessons learned throughout the design and construction process. These include navigating the challenges of stakeholder alignment, balancing conflicting goals, and addressing systemic barriers to scaling such concepts. I hope this work will contribute to advancing sustainable construction practices and fostering discussions about integrating circular approaches into the built environment. I big thank you goes to my co-authors Ranka Junge & Tabea Vischer for their contributions!

🌍 Revolutionizing Construction: Eco-Glide's Mission for a Sustainable Future 🌿** At Eco-Glide, we believe that sustainable construction isn’t just a trend—it’s a necessity for our planet's future. As the construction industry faces growing pressure to reduce its environmental impact, we’re stepping up to bridge the gap between innovative suppliers and forward-thinking construction firms. **The Challenge:**  The construction industry is one of the largest contributors to global carbon emissions. But within this challenge lies an opportunity—an opportunity to build a greener world through the adoption of sustainable materials and practices. **Our Solution:**  Eco-Glide was born from a vision to make sustainability seamless. By connecting construction companies with eco-friendly suppliers, we simplify the integration of green materials into every project. From sourcing to implementation, we ensure that sustainability doesn’t come at the cost of efficiency or profitability. **Stories of Change:**  Across the globe, companies are making strides toward a more sustainable future: The Dutch City's Green Building Revolution: In Amsterdam, buildings are now required to meet stringent energy efficiency standards, leading to a surge in demand for sustainable materials. Innovative Bamboo Skyscrapers in Asia: Architects are turning to bamboo—a rapidly renewable resource—to construct skyscrapers that are both beautiful and environmentally friendly. Net Zero Communities in the UK: Entire communities are being designed with net-zero carbon footprints, utilizing solar energy, recycled materials, and sustainable water systems. These stories inspire us at Eco-Glide to push boundaries and lead the charge in the UK’s sustainable construction movement. **Join the Movement:**  We’re not just a service; we’re a community. A community of builders, innovators, and environmental stewards who believe in the power of green construction. We invite you to join us on this journey. **What challenges do you face in adopting sustainable practices?** Let’s start a conversation and build solutions together.

This ecological tower project is designed to meet the growing need for sustainable and environmentally responsible architecture. The towers will integrate renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and potential urban wind turbines, to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and ensure energy autonomy. The use of eco-friendly materials for insulation and high-performance glass will enhance thermal efficiency, reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling. Water management systems, including rainwater harvesting and green roofs, will further promote sustainability by optimizing water use and supporting local biodiversity. Smart building technologies will enable efficient resource management, while the inclusion of green spaces and facilities for sustainable mobility will improve the quality of life for residents and visitors. Ultimately, this project combines cutting-edge design with a commitment to environmental stewardship, creating a forward-thinking solution for a private client eager to make a positive impact on the planet....

🌍 Top 5 Sustainable Materials Revolutionizing Construction + The Power of Green Building Certification 🏗️ In today’s construction industry, sustainability is no longer optional—it's a competitive advantage. Here’s a quick look at five innovative materials driving this change: Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT): Strong, lightweight, and carbon-negative. Used in the world’s tallest timber building, Norway’s 18-story Mjøstårnet. Hempcrete: Insulating, breathable, and carbon-absorbing, this material is making waves in eco-friendly projects like The Lime House in the UK. Recycled Steel: Saves up to 75% of energy compared to new steel. The Empire State Building’s renovation showcased its durability and sustainability. Ferrock: Made from recycled materials, it’s five times stronger than concrete and absorbs CO2. Mycelium: A growing trend, literally! This biodegradable material was used in the unique Hy-Fi Tower in NYC. Pairing these materials with Green Building Certification (LEED, BREEAM, etc.) can boost your project’s value by up to 11% and accelerate lease-up rates by 20%. The benefits are clear—reduced operational costs, enhanced marketability, and a positive environmental impact. Let's build a future where sustainability is the foundation, not an afterthought. 🏡💚 #Sustainability #Construction #GreenBuilding #Innovation #LEED #CLT #Hempcrete #Mycelium #RealEstate #ESG
