Wood emergency lighting sign takes PLATINUM and GREEN Considered to be the first-ever wooden emergency exit sign available on the UK market, the Arden from Philip Payne has won both PLATINUM and GREEN. The Arden has an impressively low embodied carbon score of 29.87kg CO2e, up to 30 per cent lower than many non-wooden exit signs. Crafted from European joinery-grade oak sourced from responsibly managed forests, the Arden contributes to sustainable forestry practices.? The production process, within the UK, maximises material efficiency, with waste from CNC machining repurposed to heat the UK production facility.? At the end of its lifecycle, the oak body is fully recyclable, supporting a circular economy approach.? Every aspect of the Arden is designed with sustainability in mind, says Philip Payne. The high-transmission acrylic legend panel contains up to 90 per cent recycled content. The advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate battery boasts an expected design life exceeding eight years, significantly reducing maintenance requirements and waste.? The long-lasting, British-made LED module has a rated lifespan of 100,000 hours.? Glow-wire tested to 850°C, it meets stringent fire resistance standards. The DALI 2 certified emergency module enables integration with building management systems for efficient monitoring and control.? ??Learn more about the Arden, and see all the winners: Link in the comments ? The Build Back Better Awards celebrates innovation, creativity, social purpose and environmental leadership in the built environment.?

How wood continues to be an invaluable resource for designers of outdoor space. Wood is a remarkable and renewable material, capturing the beauty, strength and spirit of nature like few others can. In our article, we explore wood in all its dimensions, taking a look into why it continues to hold such great design potential, talking with master makers about cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, and chatting with sustainable forestry experts on how responsible use protects the future of this amazing resource.

“A greenhouse needs to transmit light and air, but also survive challenging environmental conditions that might range from heavy snow load, high winds and even earthquakes. Behind every solid greenhouse design is a strong engineering team.” Learn more in our enewsletter - https://lnkd.in/eu7tdmJF #StrongerwithStuppy #engineering #greenhouses #InTheKnow

Building from agricultural forestry and polymer residuals, it’s not a stretch to consider construction and demolition waste. Industrial agricultural and urban solid and sanitary waste streams are all potentially in this product mix. https://lnkd.in/ghzPUDxZ

“Timber!?should be read by all those in planning, housing policy, construction and agriculture, and many more besides... it's easily within our grasp to grow and use more wood, with multiple benefits for society, not least to more rapidly solve our housing shortage through modular timber based buildings.” - Helen Browning “Timber!?is a passionate and thought-provoking manifesto for the much bigger role wood and forestry could play in tackling the climate crisis and improving the built environment. ”?- Shaun Spiers “Paul Brannen's engaging and accessible book explains how building materials that are grown instead of mined can change buildings from being a climate problem to part of the solution.”?- Lloyd Alter Timber!

An important tree for sustainability. A much needed book for 'grass roots' education, helping to change the common negative public perception of Sitka spruce. Well done.

?? “It’s not to say that tree planting initiatives aren’t important for heat mitigation, but that large-scale planting policies require careful consideration.” New UNSW research has found the heat mitigation benefits of trees are significantly reduced during heat waves. ?? The study highlights the importance of species selection, proper irrigation and informed policy as cities turn to green infrastructure to help combat urban overheating. ?? https://lnkd.in/gv9G2zfn.

?????????? ?????? ???????????? ????????????. As soon as we overlook this simple fact, we are likely to make mistakes when planting in city environments. While we can't perfectly recreate forest conditions, we can significantly improve the chances for trees in urban settings through informed, tree-literate design. ?????? ?????? ???? ?????????????? ?????????? ???????????? ???? ?????????????????? ?????????? ????????????.?Much like the unseen foundation of a skyscraper, the investment in proper subsurface conditions for trees may go unnoticed, but it's absolutely critical. Soil cells are an investment that yield long-lasting returns above ground for decades, potentially even centuries. Want to learn how to maximize your return on investment in urban trees?
