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. beyondzerohomes.co.uk/hidden… #circularsolutions #zerocarbon

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 👏🏚️ #ScotlandIsNow #COP26 ow.ly/XfpP50GM0wa

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…

We were delighted to host Robert Llewellyn @bobbyllew at the #COP26House a couple of days ago to film their special COP26 edition of the Fully Charged Show: youtu.be/DfDNkKBcudQ

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. #stubbornlyoptimistic #ZeroCarbon #COP26House

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 @MairiMcAllan @scotforestry @forestryls @PaulBrannenNE

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: beyondzerohomes.co.uk/infrar…

Hoping to inspire the next generation about zero carbon, timber frame homes at the #COP26House this morning
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

Another inspiring project from one of our #COP26House partners
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. #Homegrowntimber #COP26House beyondzerohomes.co.uk/timber…
