HIDDEN HEROES
Every detail in #COP26House was consciously chosen - and not least the fixings made by @Rothoblaas_UK . They focus not just on design and quality, but also reversability - for easy deconstruction at end of life.

Life in a net zero home looks good from here 😍 The COP House by @BeyondZeroHome built from wood sourced in Scotland uses a process that captures sunlight and body warmth meaning very little additional heating will be required 👏🏚️

we agree @zerocarbonhouse - and that's exactly why we built the zero carbon #cop26house, to demonstrate that it can be done using standard materials and readily available skills. There's no excuse!

Great to see the #COP26 House getting a well deserved push on @BBCScotlandNews. Well done everyone who worked on the @BeyondZeroHome project. It shows what superb innovative building with timber can achieve in reaching #NetZero. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-s…

Great to welcome @patrickharvie to the zero carbon #COP26 House. He met @bswtimber's @HamishMacleod1, architect Peter Smith from @RJA_LLP & @scotforestry to highlight the need to use more timber in construction as it's the best low carbon material around! 🌳🌲

The built environment is taking centre stage at #COP26 today. If the conversations we've had in the #COP26House this week are anything to go by, there seems to be real momentum behind positive change in the sector.

It was great to have the opportunity to show Scottish Government minister @MairiGougeon around the COP26 House, and show her what was possible right now using standard materials and existing skills. #ZeroCarbon #homegrowntimber

Scottish Government minister @MairiGougeon joined Confor CEO @stugood3 on a visit to the Zero Carbon Home at #COP26 to understand more about the enormous potential of building with home-grown wood. bit.ly/3F4QF21

One of the most common questions we’ve had from visitors to the COP26 House over the past week has been how the infrared heaters work. Here Sam Abel from @herschel_ir explains all, and why they were the ideal choice for the house:

We welcomed primary 7 pupils from @HolyCrossPri to @beyondzerohome's #COP26House this morning for a fantastic discussion about how the way we build, heat & power homes can help us to meet global climate change ambitions. #COP26

A Gift to Glasgow. We are delighted to be involved in this incredible project - The Hope Sculpture - which has now been unveiled in Glasgow to highlight the scale of the climate emergency and the need to work together for future generations. @RobertsonGroup

If you aren't able to get to Glasgow to see the COP26 House in person, here's the next best thing: take a video tour or you can walk through the house using the 360 degree tour beyondzerohomes.co.uk/virtua… @RJA_LLP @urbanunionltd

We couldn't agree more @MattStevens0n of @EcosystemsT . The design of our #COP26House is also based on home grown timber. We can and must do it!
People have been telling @MattStevens0n of @EcosystemsT and @rhairstans of @nmite_ac that UK homegrown timber homes isn't possible.
"We can do it and now we have to do it because we're in the middle of a climate crisis."

Do you feel calmer when in a space created using natural materials? A number of studies have shown that the health benefits are significant.
It's just one of the reasons why we made the #COP26House out of timber - read more here: beyondzerohomes.co.uk/the-ad…

Unfortunately due to the extremely high winds that are expected this weekend, the Sustainable Glasgow Landing site - where the COP26 House is located - won't be open this weekend. Sorry to disappoint anyone planning to visit tomorrow or Sunday - we'll be open again on Monday 9am

Producing more of our timber locally from sustainably managed forests has so many benefits: for the environment, local economies and people.
