Wondering what its all about? Here's a potted history...
You thought it wasn't possible to get the English, Belgians, Dutch, French and Germans to evaluate and promote eco-construction materials together?
...We do it!
1 Common LCA method used by 10 partners across 5 countries to evaluate the impacts of 100 building materials explained in 8 demonstration centre, all available free of charge on 1 internet site:
Build4 Sustainable Construction Demo Centre is one of the UK demonstration centres (another one is coming soon in Huddersfield for you readers up north!). CAP'EM is funded through InterregIVB (**jargon buster- that's the EU to you and me) and exists to help you understand more about the benefits of using eco-materials in construction. It also exists to let you all know about the great eco-products that are widely available to use in your building projects.
I hope, dear readers, that you will make this a two way street! Do you know of any fantastic eco-materials that you'd like to recommend to others? Let me know and we'll see if we can't get a nice long list going!
Best Wishes From,
