How Buildings can Save the World - Chris Magwood - BS044

Chris Magwood not only has a huge wealth of experience building straw bale homes, but has the building science Masters degree to back up his experience.  We discuss how the built environment can go from being the worst offender for climate change, to every building being a carbon store, so actively reversing climate change. LinksChris Magwood website - https://www.chrismagwood.ca/Endeavour Centre website - https://endeavourcentre.org/Canada's Greenest Home - https://endeavourcentre.org/project/canadas-greenest-home/Living Building Challenge - https://living-future.org/lbc/Video showing waste water heat recovery - https://youtu.be/QuFF_U2YW3o?t=419Encyclopedia of sustainable materials - https://endeavourcentre.org/resources/sustainable-building-encyclopedia/Building Emissions Accounting for Materials (BEAM) - https://www.buildersforclimateaction.org/beam-calculator.htmlLow-Rise Buildings as aClimate Change Solution (Whitepaper) - https://www.buildersforclimateaction.org/whitepaper1.htmlUniversity of Bath Embodied energy and carbon in construction - https://researchportal.bath.ac.uk/en/publications/embodied-energy-and-carbon-in-construction-materialsGramitherm (Grass insulation) - https://gramitherm.ch/?lang=enLloyd Alter - Rename embodied carbon to upfront carbon - https://www.treehugger.com/lets-rename-embodied-carbon-upfront-carbon-emissions-4855487Connect with meIG - @jeffreythenaturalbuilderTwitter - @JNaturalBuilderFacebook - JeffreythenaturalbuilderLinkedIn - JeffreythenaturalbuilderThe Mick & Pat ShowJoin us for informal conversations surrounding beer, film, politics and philosophy.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showConnect with me:IG - @jeffreythenaturalbuilderTwitter - @JNaturalBuilderFacebook - JeffreythenaturalbuilderLinkedIn - JeffreythenaturalbuilderSupport this podcast - https://www.patreon.com/buildingsustainability Hosted on Acast.
