Material biodiversity in construction

At The Institution of Structural Engineers 2024 Climate Emergency Conference, it was noted that Europe views sustainable construction as more than just reducing carbon. Thoughtful material choices can help protect ecosystems, enhance resilience, and drive innovation. Europe is advancing material reuse and structural material biodiversity, combining low-carbon steel, concrete, engineered timber, and hybrid systems.

Local natural materials

Malcolm Birks, Head of Design at Rural Solutions, explores how local natural materials like hempcrete, straw, sheep’s wool, and timber can cut emissions, improve building performance, and create healthier spaces. With pioneering examples from EcoCocon and HEMSPAN Ltd, he shows how natural solutions are redefining sustainable construction.
