How can we embed sustainable design into the construction process? With Mhairi Grant (Paper Igloo)
Manage episode 436379651 series 3011941
Jeff invited Mhairi Grant, co founder of award-winning architectural practice Paper Igloo, to join us to talk about the challenges of ensuring that one's ideas for sustainable design actually make their way through to the construction phase.
The subject was sparked by a conversation she and Jeff had about lessons learned from a flawed project (that we discuss) and what it takes to ensure that our best, or even just easiest ideas are delivered upon in the build phase.
Usually, we'd think about specifying a project in a way that can resist value engineering, but sometimes the project can be scuppered by something as simple as an easily avoidable comprehension issue.
Notes from the show
- Mhairi Grant on LinkedIn
- A link to Scotland's Passivhaus Consultation: Building Regulations: Determining the principles for a Scottish equivalent to the Passivhaus standard: Stage 1 consultation
- The Paper Igloo website
- Paper Igloo on Instagram
- The Passive House Plus feature on Mhairi's own home in Stirlingshire
**SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**
We don't actually earn anything from this, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.
- Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn page (we still don't have a proper website)
- Jeff, Alex, and Dan about websites, branding, and communications - zap@eiux.agency; Everything is User Experience
- Subscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)
- Check Lloyd's Substack: Carbon Upfront
- Join ACAN
- Join the AECB
- Join the IGBC
- Check out Her Own Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women
