With a background spanning industries like agriculture, engineering and healthcare, as well as work as part of the Technology Strategy Board of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), Sully says it’s the significant breadth of her previous experience that makes her so well suited to her current work with the Hub.. Now entering its fourth year in operation, the purpose of the Construction Innovation Hub is to act as a catalyst to support the industry, working with both the UK government and supply chain, in order to establish how we can facilitate more effective delivery of our built environment.
This reduces raw material requirements for new products.. Minimise impact and waste for sustainable construction.Use low impact materials by considering the environmental impact at specification stage, alongside cost and technical considerations.
This also includes the manufacturing location of materials and the transportation distance to site..The recycled content of materials should be maximised without significantly impacting the technical characteristics of the material..Designing out waste can be achieved with clever and simple use of materials, eg.
altering the centre point of ceiling tiles to limit offcuts to a single side of the room, rather than both sides..Designing with/for components promotes offsite assembly of repeated modules.
Any leftovers from building the components can be used on subsequent projects, recycled onsite or restocked, minimising wastage.. How can we minimise risk in the building sector?.
Minimising risk in the construction industry is important in encouraging developers and designers to take account of circular economy principles.Nitrosamines demonstrate increase cancer risks in laboratory experiments and in 2018.
