The NearHome project demonstrates the added advantage of a circular approach with the kit designed for reuse, meaning captured carbon can remain in the cycle for as long a period as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The modular timber demonstrator unit is part of a wider response to changing working patterns in a post-pandemic Scotland<\/h3>\n<p>The work forms part of the NearHome project, supported by Transport Scotland, which aims to provide businesses with the tools to transform and retrofit unused spaces into sustainable, energy-efficient out-of-town alternatives to city centre offices.<\/p>\n<p>Lynsey Bryson, head of digital programmes at BE-ST, said: \u201cNearHome has the potential to change how we think about the retrofit of non-domestic buildings going forward. We know that a one-size-fits-all approach is not going to be possible to suit the various building typologies we use in Scotland, but the modular design offers a flexible, sustainable solution that can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>Initial indications from the life cycle analysis of the NearHome approach suggest that the construction of a typical office building would produce five times more carbon dioxide equivalent compared to the modular, timber kit design.<\/p>\n<p>The NearHome approach produces 535kg CO2e per m2 floor area during construction, compared to 2953 kg CO2e per m2 floor area for a typical traditional office building.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Harvie MSP, minister for zero carbon buildings, active travel &amp; tenants\u2019 rights, said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe funded the NearHome project to support workplace innovation and aid COVID recovery. It\u2019s also helping to create new opportunities in Scotland\u2019s construction industry, making better use of Scottish wood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/scotland-faces-a-monumental-task-on-eco-housing-says-msp-at-green-home-festival\/114184\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Not every home is suitable for home working<\/a>. Working from quality spaces closer to home can offer greater flexibility and work-life balance, whilst reducing car dependency and transport emissions, and creating local economic opportunities \u2013 which is all part of the Scottish Government\u2019s ambition to support the development of 20-minute neighbourhoods.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new modular timber demonstrator unit prototype shows how timber kit-of-parts approach to retrofitting could be the key to future sustainable offices. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[942],"tags":[277,997,93645,669,465,915],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-114488","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-mmc-news","7":"tag-built-environment","8":"tag-development","9":"tag-net-zero","10":"tag-regeneration","11":"tag-sustainable-construction","12":"tag-timber"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Modular timber demonstrator unit shows retrofitting potential for sustainable offices<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A new modular timber demonstrator unit prototype shows how timber kit-of-parts approach to retrofitting could be the key to future sustainable offices\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/mmc-news\/modular-timber-demonstrator-unit-shows-retrofitting-potential-for-sustainable-offices\/114488\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Modular timber demonstrator unit shows retrofitting potential for sustainable offices\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A new modular timber demonstrator unit prototype shows how timber kit-of-parts approach to retrofitting could be the key to future sustainable offices\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/mmc-news\/modular-timber-demonstrator-unit-shows-retrofitting-potential-for-sustainable-offices\/114488\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
