Timber all the way - Waugh Thistleton's Black & White Building
In this webinar, Andrew Waugh, founding director, Waugh Thistleton Architects - a practice well known for being a long-standing advocate of timber as a sustainable alternative to conventional building materials, expands on their goal to design central London’s tallest mass timber office structure, the six-storey Black & White Building.
The Black & White Building is a case study of a ‘boundary-pushing sustainable workspace’. It is powered by 100 per cent renewable energy sources (including 80 PVs on its rooftop) and has over a third less embodied carbon than comparable six-storey structures due to its (mostly) mass-timber construction. It is also designed to be taken apart and re-used elsew...

Whole Life Carbon - what is it? How is it structured and calculated? Richard Bowman, Mesh Energy
Inspiring talk! Incredible work guys!
Johnson does not articulate the different purposes of ventilation: eg remove damp to prevent damage to fabric. Provide right amount, not excessive, vent to remove pollutants. Evaporate moisture from walls, arising from leaks, rising damp and rain with pipe leaks. life-style moisture, breathing, showering, drying clothes, cooking etc. He does not say, in energy retrofit, for all homes in UK, that many million old ex-coal fire homes, with inadequate insulation, from solid brick walls. Old flues are brilliant keeping cooler in summer, and enough vent with hit-or-miss grille for winter. Too much psuedo-science jargon, not talking practically.
How do I make contact with you
Thank you from Philippines
Blabber blabber blabber
Great video. I’m surprised you didn’t show operable skylights on the roof used as passive ventilation, you barely touched on it. These are very easy to retrofit and can create high velocity ventilation when used correctly with windows below. I’ve seen studies where this design out performed a whole house electric fan. 👍
Thank you. Great info to help me plan my retrofit. Cheers
Thanks for that. Engineer to engineer, and no sales pitch.
Excellent presentation.
Is that possible for us to know all the formulas which you used in this calculator? Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for the video, where can I download the lasted Mesh?
Thanks- learnt much.
Hey dude. This was very insightful. I have been trying to find for vid like yours that informs the ideas in this RUclips video. 🧑🏻⚕️ The description at 1:18 is my favorite. Your video is like the vids from Dr. Ethan. Doctor Ethan's demonstrations are totally useful and I learned a lot for wellness. He is an awesome med student in the UK! I recommend you check out his RUclips out and give the medical student a subscribe! 👉 #DrEthanMedicine
Thank you so much for the video, I have downloaded the 4th version. However, I have a question about the carbon potential of hempcrete in the tool. It says 40KgCO2 per m3??? However from my reading the hempcrete should've a negative value. Can you please clarify.
Hi thanks for your question. The hempcrete we referenced was a verified product in one click LCA. There will be other Hempcrete materials with negative values and in the latest version you can input your own materials with the values you have. Hope that helps!
Do they do a wood fired model as we have loads of wood ?
If you have lots of wood, a biomass boiler might be an option. Please feel free to email us at info@mesh-energy.com to find out more.
