Article 6 - Energy Efficient House Opens in Nottingham
Energy Efficient House Opens in Nottingham
April 2008 Concrete
Page 6
Nottingham will showcase five houses to be built to a varying degree of energy efficiency, this will also test different levels of construction. Part of a research dissemination project it has explored a German efficiency standard.
Carbon emmissions are also being measured during the build and a target has been set. The cost of the house has also been explored in order to make the process affordable. The house is compact and incorporates concrete, insulated panels and other environmentally friendly and sustainable elements. This project sets a standard for more research to come

Article 4 - Creating A Classic Concrete
April 2008 Concrete
Article describes a pre-cast concrete method used by Bovis Lend Lease in a new retail complex in the UK. The choice to use this method was guided by sustainability and how environmentally friendly concrete is.
The off site manufacturing allowed consistency in the colour and texture of the concrete. The key for the contractors was being able to time each element of the build, a particularly pertinent element of the construction. It was essential that a sequence was followed and that nothing was damaged in transistor handling.
