One thing that I found particularly interesting was the technique they used to make the first floor, using a system called Click-Raft. This was invented by the presenter Chris Moller and his team and involves sheets of ply cut by CNC machines and then slotted together to make a rigid lattice panel, which is also quite attractive. It can be used to make entire buildings apparently. Here are some links to more information:

Ply has an embodied energy of 15 MJ/kg and general timber has 8.5 MJ/kg.

I went to see the man that make furniture from CNCed ply today. He was involved in architecture before he took up furniture design.

Was there not a house on Grand Design that was made from machined ply a few years back. Seem to remember that it used screw piles as the foundation.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15103&Focus=258478#Comment_258478 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15103&Focus=258478#Comment_258478 Mon, 29 May 2017 10:23:16 +0100 jfb http://www.the-self-build-guide.co.uk/facit-homes.html]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15103&Focus=258483#Comment_258483 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15103&Focus=258483#Comment_258483 Mon, 29 May 2017 16:02:26 +0100 nigel https://wikihouse.cc/

Its still early days.

There is another related one for furniture https://www.opendesk.cc/

All you need is access to a CNC machine. All the designs are open source.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15103&Focus=258485#Comment_258485 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=15103&Focus=258485#Comment_258485 Mon, 29 May 2017 18:16:35 +0100 Mackers
