When buildings are demolished, too much waste ends up in landfills. Why? Because of a lack of recycling facilities. To sustain the value of materials, which are the building blocks of tomorrow’s cities, it’s time we changed our approach to deconstruction. Let’s see how selective demolition is the answer to more circular and sustainable buildings.CONSTRUCTING NEW WOR(L)DS, by Saint-Gobain.Behind words, solutions and innovations for a more sustainable future.

Recovering materials from building demolition. Faced with ever scarcer natural resources and the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the construction industry is turning to “urban mining” – the recovery of construction materials from demolished buildings. However, what may sound like a virtuous circle is beset with obstacles.CONSTRUCTING NEW WOR(L)DS, by Saint-Gobain.Behind words, solutions and innovations for a more sustainable future.

Adapting a building to the needs of its occupants can be done thanks to modularity. Whether it's a question of construction or interior layout, the principle is the same: change the distribution of building volumes over time to make it more agile, practical and, above all, more sustainable.CONSTRUCTING NEW WORLDS, by Saint-Gobain.Behind words, solutions and innovations for a sustainable future.

In the construction sector, adaptation has become a necessity due to the increasing frequency of extreme climate events. Today, this concept is profoundly transforming the sector, from design to construction, including the choice of materials and building methods. How can adaptation be incorporated into construction and renovation projects? How can we ensure that our buildings withstand current and future climate conditions, while minimizing the human and financial cost?CONSTRUCTING NEW WORLDS, by Saint-Gobain.Behind words, solutions and innovations for a more sustainable future.

Resilience is the ability to bounce back after a shock or difficult ordeal, before returning to an initial situation. In the building and construction sector, this notion is being used more and more frequently, particularly to anticipate and cope with extreme weather events linked to climate change. And in real terms? The answer in this episode.CONSTRUCTING NEW WORLDS, by Saint-Gobain.Behind words, solutions and innovations for a more sustainable future. Hosted on Acast.

Energy efficiency is a cornerstone of sustainable construction. Consuming less energy while guaranteeing the same level of comfort is the goal set by the sector to meet the challenges of climate change and rising energy costs.

Offsite construction is a model based on the prefabrication of building elements at a location other than the worksite. Instead of building on site, individual modules or components are designed and manufactured at a workshop or plant before they are transported to and assembled on the worksite. The benefits are significant: quality, speed, safety, smaller carbon footprint... offsite construction has the potential to revolutionize the building industry!

Chemicals are everywhere, and the construction sector is no exception. They improve the performance of materials and products by giving them additional properties, such as mechanical resistance, impermeability, durability, and easy implementation. This market, estimated to be worth €100 billion globally, is in constant growth. What role does it play in reducing the carbon footprint of buildings today and in the future?

The term “soil sealing” refers to the transformation of natural land into stable, impermeable surfaces required for new buildings. Unfortunately, this process accelerates biodiversity loss, generates carbon emissions and exacerbates the effects of natural disasters.
