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

𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 Dave Cooper 🎥! Industrialized Construction (IC) isn’t just about speed and cost, it’s paving the way for greener, smarter buildings. By leveraging precision manufacturing, IC can produce energy-efficient building components with tighter tolerances, better insulation, and advanced materials that reduce energy consumption over a building’s lifetime. The result? Homes and commercial spaces that are not only built faster but also perform better for the environment and the people who live and work in them. Let’s build a future where sustainability and innovation go hand in hand. How do energy-efficient buildings today compare to the ones made decades ago? Do the building materials used change that much over the years? 🤔 #IndustrializedConstruction #EnergyEfficiency #SustainableBuilding #InnovationInConstruction Ken Semler Gary Fleisher Doug Tollin, Jon Hannah-Spacagna Neil Wypior Håkon Kalbakk ProSet Modular Alan Milne John Robson Matthew Rapa Greg Nakonecznyj Yaroslav Stetsenko Lance Lowrey Harris Woodward Michael Merle Mike Wilmot Ralph Tavares, Nolan Ausan Sr. Andrew Wilkinson Bruce Bell Greg Ugalde, Rob Howard Colby Swanson

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
