Greencore Homes’ Post

Timber frame construction and off-site manufacture can contribute significantly to the Government’s drive to deliver 1.5 million sustainable homes at pace.   @Kirkwood Timber Frame supports the @Time for Timber campaign which encourages the construction industry to rethink how it builds by selecting more sustainable materials and investing in training and educating the future workforce to support the delivery of more energy efficient and cost-effective housing.   It is #TimeForTimber – https://lnkd.in/eyZMcqg3   @Structural Timber Association    #TimberConstruction #MMC #TimberFrame #Sustainable #Efficient #OffsiteManufacture #EnergyEfficiency 

To meet the ambitious goal of building 1.5 million homes, we must embrace change in every aspect of the construction process. This includes rethinking how we build, selecting more sustainable materials, and investing in the future of our workforce through updated training. By adapting to these changes, we can ensure a more efficient, sustainable, and skilled approach to meeting the housing demands ahead. It’s time for timber—trusted, sustainable, and future-ready. #SustainableBuilding #TimberConstruction #STA #SustainableConstruction #TimberBuilding #EnergyEfficiency #ClimateSmart #FutureOfConstruction #LowCarbonBuilding #StructuralTimber #StructuralTimberAssociation

The 2024 Innovative Housing Showcase highlighted the future of sustainable housing, focusing on offsite construction, decarbonization, and the role of codes and standards in driving innovation. Key takeaways include the Department of Energy's push for affordable, energy-efficient housing and the need for greater collaboration across federal agencies to support these goals. The evolution of building practices, from modular systems to advanced materials like 3D-printed structures, is paving the way for a more sustainable and resilient built environment. It’s clear that as our industry innovates, the framework of codes and standards will play a crucial role in shaping the future of housing. 🔗https://ow.ly/stya50Tb2TH BUILDER Magazine #InnovativeHousing #SustainableBuilding #ConstructionInnovation #FutureOfHousing
