An outsider's view on the state of green building in the UK and Ireland, AKA 'Lloyd loves wood now', with Lloyd Alter (Upfront Carbon; Passive House Accelerator)

This week we have a transatlantic expert's perspective on the state of sustainable building in Ireland and the UK. Friend of the show, Lloyd’s Alter joined us after a research trip and drinking holiday to the UK.
We thought it would be interesting to ask him to tell us about what learned on his travels and he offered us hiss thoughts on wood, the inspiring projects he visited, the people he met, cycling in Dublin, ventilation, air quality, transport, and all sorts.Notes from the episode That Extinction Beckons art exhibition at the Hayward Gallery The Retrofit23 exhibition at the Building Centre  Architype's case study of the Hereford Archive and RecordsCentre Why Do we Make Everything So Complicated, a piece by Lloyd about that 'Radical Simplicity' Nick Grant article he references; I couldn't find the actual article but I'll update the notes with the link if Lloyd sends it on Seeing the Wood for the Trees, by Lenny Antonelli and Andy Simmons, from the pages of Passive House Plus The Deluded World of Window Replacement, from Lloyd's Substack, Upfront Carbon
