Smarter Building Podcast Ep. 6 - Sustainability in Construction
In this episode of our Smarter Building podcast, we caught up with Benjamin Hall, Product Manager/Designer at Green Canopy NODE. Listen to this episode to hear his thoughts on sustainability in the Construction industry.

Green Canopy NODE is a construction technology company, with a mission to change the construction industry through key manufactured products that enable developers to build healthier homes faster and more sustainably.
In recent years, sustainable buildings have become a focal point in the construction industry as organisations and individuals strive to address environmental challenges and reduce their carbon footprint. Gain valuable insights from Benjamin as he shares his thoughts on the challenges, innovations, and opportunities for creating more sustainable buildings. Discover how the industry is evolving, the latest trends in sustainable construction practices, and what consumers should be doing more for a greener and more sustainable future.
"What I'm seeing is having the greatest impact is the policy and regulatory side, so more and more restrictive energy codes. Building codes are forcing developers and builders to build more sustainably. But as far as how fast it is happening, to put it simply, it's not happening fast enough."
