https://lnkd.in/gnQ6WKv3 A Lead8 initiative promoting mass timber in design and construction as a key strategy to reduce emissions. By integrating mass timber with concrete, we can significantly lower carbon footprints while ensuring structural integrity. With creative planning and design, we believe this composite approach will lead us towards a greener, more sustainable built environment. 

🇬🇧 In London’s historic Canary Wharf District, the vibrant new district of Wood Wharf is an icon of sustainable construction. ♻ “Holcim’s ECOPact range helped us focus on what low-carbon solutions and circularity options are available to us, to explore…and embrace the art of what’s possible.” - Jonathan Ly, Director Structures, Canary Wharf Group #BuildingIcons celebrates inspirational buildings and infrastructure at the heart of our cities, built to last with Holcim solutions. Projects like Wood Wharf showcase what inspires us as we make construction more resilient, low-carbon, energy-efficient and smart. 🔗 Find out more about this Building Icon: https://lnkd.in/esyFEfQ6 #BuildingProgress #BuildingCities #SustainableConstruction #Architecture Aggregate Industries UK

#Hempcrete, a sustainable building material made from #hemp shiv, #lime, and water, is gaining popularity as an eco-friendly alternative to concrete. With origins dating back over 1,500 years, it offers impressive environmental benefits, such as low energy production and long-lasting performance. Recent innovations, like hempcrete blocks, have improved its accessibility and consistency, making it easier for builders to use. While it doesn't replace concrete structurally, hempcrete excels as insulation, offering thermal stability. As demand for sustainable housing grows, hempcrete’s future in both new builds and retrofits looks bright.

The Spieghelstraat Apartments in Alkmaar, designed by Kraaijvanger Architects for Woonwaard Noordkennemerland, set a new standard for sustainable construction. This nearly energy-neutral complex features 44 apartments and incorporates reclaimed Western Red Cedar wood, revitalized by CirQ Wood. To ensure both sustainability and fire safety, Lemahieu Fire Protection® applied Burnblock’s natural fire retardant, achieving the required B-s2,d0 classification while preserving the wood’s beauty. This process not only extended the wood’s lifecycle but also kept 10,646 kg of CO2 sequestered within the cladding for decades to come. The project also relies on the Netherlands' most sustainable heating network, HVC, and integrates solar panels, making it a model for energy-neutral living. A fantastic collaboration showcasing how circular materials and innovative fire safety solutions redefine sustainable construction! #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #FireSafety #Burnblock #KraaijvangerArchitects #LemahieuGroup #CirQWood https://lnkd.in/d9ieft6F

The Canyons showcases smart, sustainable design with cross-laminated timber (CLT), an innovative material made from our region’s most renewable resource: wood. CLT is stronger than steel, lighter than concrete, and locks away atmospheric carbon, reducing emissions during manufacturing and construction. By the numbers, The Canyons has a carbon benefit of 3,592 metric tons of CO2—equivalent to taking 759 cars off the road for a year. #Architecture #Housing #SeniorLiving #SustainableDesign #CrossLaminatedTimber #CLT #EcoFriendlyArchitecture #GreenBuilding #CarbonNeutral #RenewableResources #PortlandOR #SustainableConstruction #LowCarbonDesign #EmissionsReduction #SmartDesign #TheCanyonsProject
