Bio-Based Buildings: 'Nature is the template for what we increasingly expect from building operations'

In this series of articles, G&T's sustainability consultant, Richard Francis, will look at the implications and applications of a bio-based approach to buildings. By bio-based we mean buildings that are constructed of natural materials (wood, bamboo, algae, etc.) or mimic biological processes (store energy and water, biodegrade without harm, etc.)
