RT @SustainableTall: I've written an article in @dezeen on principles for designing low-carbon skyscrapers
1. Retrofit First
2. Reject the curtain wall
3. Embrace Passivhaus
4. Flush out the heat
5. Build with timber
6. Reduce first, generate second
7. Forget about supertalls

Wood helps reduce energy consumption. Wood’s unique cellular structure makes it ten times more insulating than concrete, 400 times more than steel. A 2.5cm-thick timber wall panel provides better thermal resistance than an 11.5cm brick wall. https://bit.ly/3GpcVHF @James_BG
