Description

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

Zero Ambitions is a podcast about sustainability, the built environment, and zero-carbon goals. We talk about how sustainability applies to the built environment, to draw attention to the achievability of it all, wherever there is the will to make a difference. It's not easy, but it is possible. Hosted by Jeff Colley (Passive House Plus), Dan Hyde (Everything is User Experience) and Alex Blondin (Everything is User Experience) Zero ambitions is a hub for sharing good practices, advice, stories about the importance of sustainable building, retrofit, performance, efficiency, new materials, strategies, and whatever needs to be done in order to meet the collective challenges that lie ahead.
