Green Buildings & Real Impact: Circularity & Bio-Based Materials in Practice 08.05.2026 55minSee all our content and events: Check out our LinkTreeHost Matthew Jackson with guests: Thomas Kveiborg, Oliver Hansen & Nikolaj Callisen FriisLIVE from Copenhagen in association with BLOXHUB and the AEC Hackathon.Bio-based materials are moving from niche innovation to mainstream application. Timber, hemp, straw, mycelium and waste-derived products are no longer experimental concepts — they are being deployed in housing, commercial and public buildings at scale. The question is no longer if they work, but how we implement them effectively, affordably and safely.Proven applications in housing and urban development.Standardisation, industrialisation and digital workflows that enable cost control and scalability.Collaboration models between public and private actors that accelerate adoption.Regulatory and insurance barriers — and what needs to change to unlock broader deployment.Ensuring durability, safety and long-term performance without compromising sustainability.Beyond material substitution, this discussion considers how bio-based construction can contribute to healthier buildings, local supply chains and more resilient communities.The aim is practical clarity: how do we move from pilot projects to market-wide transformation — delivering buildings that are not only green in principle, but impactful in measurable outcomes?Thank you to the event sponsors that make this weekend happen: Molio, RIB Software, Ramboll, Henning Larsson, PropTech DK, WeBuildDenmark.Enjoy!This is the ZERO Construct podcast, the podcast dedicated to bringing you insights and expertise from professionals around the world on how we can create a more future proof industry while reducing carbon in the built environment.

How do we pay for this? / Paying to Decarbonise Construction (Live from Dublin) 08.12.2023 1h 5minEpisode guests: Eamonn Sheils from Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), Chris Jackson from esri, Archie O'Donnell and Ross Griffin from KOSMOS. Episode sponsor: BIMCoordinators Summit by BIM Hero and ArcDox ZERO hosted the ZERO Carbon stage at BIM Coordinators Summit in Dublin, September 2023. We hosted two great panel sessions and this is the second of two. How does construction pay to decarbonise is a fascinating question which I hear often and seen answered both well and poorly.

It is a question that we at ZERO feels will be a podcast again and again as we as an industry mature our thinking and we meet new people from across the world.
