SIGA is working with logistics partners to switch to trucks that can load double-decker, a move that will save several tonnes of CO2 a year.

Modular and offsite construction are growing fast worldwide, as demand increases for super-insulated, airtight, low carbon new buildings. But from public perception to the need for upskilling our workforce, these new methods still face challenges if they are to take over the market.

This is the second instalment of our guide running from concept to handover, what needs to happen at each RIBA stage to achieve a successful airtightness test.

We need to retrofit millions of buildings with airtightness and insulation to achieve net zero. What is EnerPHit compared to Passivhaus, what are passivhaus principles? We give an introduction to highly efficient construction renovation projects.

Insulation stops heat escaping by blocking conduction. But it can’t do its job properly if heat is also being carried away by unwanted air movement.

From concept to handover, we describe what needs to happen at every RIBA stage for a successful airtightness test.

Vienna is growing a new landmark: The Wood Boutique Hotel.
