The future of school buildings will be defined by the choices we make today, starting with materials.
The built environment is under increasing pressure to deliver low carbon, high performing school buildings that support both learners and the planet. One of the biggest drivers of change? Material choice.
Concrete and steel remain major contributors to global CO₂ emissions. They are heavy, resource-intensive to produce, and costly to transport.
Timber, by contrast, is renewable, low carbon, lightweight, and efficient to transport.
Innovarés timber based i-FAST panel delivers both low embodied and operational carbon. It enables Net Zero Carbon in Operation (NZCiO) and Passivhaus standards, while allowing us to clearly quantify the carbon benefits of timber. Our structures achieve up to 45% less embodied carbon compared to traditional build methods, thanks to significantly reduced reliance on carbon-intensive steelwork.
