great video!
This is one of my favorite podcasts. Thank you. 🙏
How could your product be used for foundation construction ?
Are they in Canada as well? Here the weather is harsh and I don't know how they will address the Building Science and condensation issues on the inside of the SIP panels. Also, what if the ceramic sheet cracks or shatters - it will then lose its structural strength. Or is there a way to deal with this. And, how are services provided inside in the panels. Appreciate your answers. I am interested in getting these type of houses in Canada.
Salvaged old-growth lumber would be amazing to work with for a build project as a structural component
Glad to see you Belinda. I've been reusing material my whole career, it benefits the customer, price-wise, and the contractor not having to make extra trips for material. Great episode
Where and when can I purchase this product? I'm building in Mexico
Love this! Sound control is so important in a house. So many homes are built where you can hear someone blink from another room and that really messes with the sense of privacy especially when you have a family.
Fascinating! It's amazing how a background in art (in this case music) could be the driver of this incredible tech... and with so much inplications on a neglected human experience which is acoustics. Thanks Dr. Finnur for this great interview... and of course Belinda for the always great questions. Cheers!
THX FOR SHARING THIS 🤗😎💚💚💚
They're trying to take out JOBS!!!!!😮
i thought PEX cant withstand any sunlight... I recall learning that it breaksdown MUCH faster if exposed to UV. Is that a concern?
Eco Building materials consultant here....thank you for sharing these interesting podcasts. May I just throw in my two pence here? Could there be a mistake at 3:30 when he says that air is highly conductive?! It is actually the opposite. Air gaps within insulation can actually enhance the insulation properties of a wall. Air itself is a poor conductor of heat (not the opposite as stated in the video), meaning it doesn't transfer heat efficiently. This characteristic is why air is often used in insulation, either trapped in foam, fibrous materials, or as a controlled air gap between layers.
Great channel. Please keep working on it.
Very interesting insight - thanks!
OUTSTANDING : o .....
I am very proud of the man you have become in a field that you LOVE. Your emphasis on sharing ideas with other architects and contractors, and the importance of learning by doing, are the best of your personality. Always wishing you the best! (Dad)
As a student of emu, this is great to see!
In the construction industry we need modular tech. At this point I cant trust any manufacturers to deliver.

So, everything we need to know is between 43:20 and 44:06? Basically build with stone or concrete coated with Zirconia? What material do you build a house with that is impervious to fire, mold, termites, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc? I want to build a small house in Florida that can withstand all these things. I don’t care about aesthetics. I don’t care if pipes or electrical conduit is visible on the inside. I want practical, sturdy and healthy. I also don’t care if it costs more per sqft. I’d be right and smaller. What should this house be made of?
Vantem cameo 🥳
Thank you for hosting, Belinda!

Technology like this is why there needs to be more serious conversations about universal basic income. This isn't like a tractor replacing a mule team, but you still had the driver. This is the machine actually replacing the man. How is that jobless man going to feed his family?
Don't worry. Universal Basic Income created from wealth. That for First World countries people. The rest will have to figure it out. Greetings 👍
Belinda🎉🎉🎉🎉 thank you I'm a concrete geek and I'm building a couple exposed concrete homes. I've been looking for products to finish with, and I'll be testing these products out. I did a Xypex admixture wall, and it's pricy that way, so I was going to switch to spray on application.

I've enjoyed following Belinda over the years. Its nice to finally be in a position where I'm going to reach out to the guest. If you're reading this and want to get ahead of me, reach out. I have a vacant industrial site in Denver for a start-up factory in Colorado. Im a contractor taking a year to finally finish my to-do list.😅
Aaron or Belinda, There is a lot of overlap in the business im starting with what you're doing. If you have time id like to talk and either join you in you next project as an employee or partner. Im a contractor and have been working toward my current co.pany for 20 years and about to build a single family and 2 ADUs. Aaron as a person from outside thw industry you understand more than anyone I've heard. I believe I have fixed/addressed the labor issue. Im working on developing custom financial programs that can be scaled. I love your developer point of veiw, because I believe the same. Im in Colorado, Denver metro. Looking at Austin, Tuson because Im looking for other markets Id like to live in. Also looking at a California desert location for a 100 single family units.
Oh yeah I've been into affordable for a while and I'm working on a product for that. I had a meeting with the State office that manages affordable funding. I was trying to develope a permanent affordable product. The affordable program has spent billions over 30 years and there are ZERO affordable units in the market from those funds as the loan agreement runs off at 20 or 30 years. I believe that 10% of affordable funding can be put into at least 100 year affordable product. I think that can then be improved to permanent affordable housing. Let's talk. I understand if each of you are charging consulting fees for a virtual meeting. If you want face to face I can come to you. Or fly you out for a hike. Thanks Rodger OH yeah I'm 54, contractor, builder and a landlord. 25+ years experience.
Didn't know Pierce Brosnan was a insulation expert?
🤣
I have been producing and constructing straw panels in Russia for 15 years. I agree that the market for builders and architects is very conservative. And he doesn’t want to accept everything new. But straw panels are a great material!
Really great episode
Why no comparison to basalt rebar?
So I understand that they actually 'built' almost nothing?
it works magic in germany , 90% of all houses here are moduular and ready in half a day
Sears had mail order houses, just need to offer houses that have one or two sets of plans. And if they had a decent warranty. I'm not sure why it has to be so complicated. I understand places that have earthquakes or hurricanes, would have to be something build on site.
Seems like a really convoluted system. Cheers
Can you share the research that he mentions in the video @16.01 ?

Not really. Primary energy for making pumice is quite high (and I am not talking about extraction the clay and adding cement). With density of 1000kg/m3 the is lambda 0,4 and strawbale has cca 0,05 so technically pumicecrete is 8x worse insulation then strawbales.
Can't argue with stupid

I've always liked "concrete cubes with flat roofs" for 50 years. But no banker would finance such an "eyesore." Sigh.
Straw belongs in the soil to build organic matter. If they used fertilizer to grow the crop, it's not 'renewable.'
accually not really. Straw is cellulose = source of carbon, not nitrogen. If we calculate carbon cycle during lifespan is zero (methane produced during decomposition). If we put straw out of the cycle and hold it for 80-100 years, we can absorb a lot of carbon from athmosphere. And straw is waste product in agriculture, it grows every year in large quantities.
@@MarianOntkoc Where do you think the straw comes from? The Krebs Cycle of the oat straw or wheat straw depends on N2 to elongate the cellular structures in order to create the cellulose yield in tons/ acre so that harvesting it is economically viable.
@@MarianOntkoc Also, straw is not a waste product in agriculture. Farmers bale it and use it for livestock feed and bedding. I stacked enough of it in the barn to know. The only straw left on the field is the 2 inches of stubble, and no, it doesn't turn into methane, it builds organic matter in the soil and over time the aerobic and anaerobic bacteria breaks it down so the carbon, P, K, and N left in it becomes plant available and is used by following crops in the rotation.
@@indivisibleman8596 I am talking about dry straw at the harvest. There is no Nitrogen. Carbon is necessary during compost process, but composting emits greenhouse gases. Wheat straw isn't that nutritious to feed the stock and it is agricultural byproduct. Is it good source of homogenous cellulse.
If you're up for it, it would be interesting to see another video or podcast about the current state of Blockchain in construction. I know you got a lot of flak for the last one, but I'd genuinely like to know if Blockchain has become an established technology in construction.
How to get this industry going? Trade secrets and copyrights, I get it but... What's required to establish the infrastructure and the epoxy or binder solution. Can it be mimicked with other plant based material. Where are all the comments and interest?
