A conversation about innovative, sustainable housing construction methods focusing on carbon-negative materials and modular factory-made components. The speakers discuss alternatives to timber framing—such as autoclaved aerated concrete with biochar and reclaimed-material modular elements—that aim to improve durability, pest and climate resistance, and extend dwelling life expectancy to around 150 years.
And I loved the housing that you were talking about so can you share that with our audience because I was just like stumped. I was like really? And listening.
Absolutely. And and there's a lot of components to it. It's not just about new construction methodology which is using carbon negative components. So how can you build something that is pest resistant is climate resistan is mildew water resistant is using new materials instead of timber framed housing that has much lower life expectancy it's using blocks of autoclaved aerated concrete with biochar which makes it carbon negative or using a different solution with the proponent I'm working with that takes materials out of a landfill to create modular components of the house where it can be built faster. And these, these pieces are made in a factory so it's, it's controlled so you get a very high quality of material that creates an life expectancy of a dwelling for 150 years. So that's one piece. The other piece.
