• Resource Efficient Design is increasingly needed to: – minimize the 109m tonnes of waste the UK
construction industry generates each year, – avoid shortages in the future (it is reducing) – enable reuse of all materials at the end of life.
• Brian Murphy will introduce a set of adoptable design principles and illustrate them with examples of their implementation and introduce sources of information.

Resource Depletion
• Depletion of our Finite Resources • Our natural resources such as:
– energy, water, food and raw materials – are becoming increasingly scarce and
expensive – due to the effects of
• population growth • increasing expectations of wealth seekers • Resource intense production and distribution • Finite resources • climate change • restrictions imposed by resource-exporting nations • greed for market share and turn over by retailers • wasteful methods of production, sales and use

• In the news • 50% of food production is wasted • Halal meat contaminated by pork
– Destroyed but could have been fed to non-halal eating population
• Beef contaminated with horse: destroyed – Better than connective tissue, fat, salt, sugar? – We eat baby sheep, chickens, fish why not
horse? • Vet drugs contaminated meat in food chain • Toxins in the oceans contaminate marine
food chain, • highest contamination in whales 14/02/16 6

Resource Security Action Plan
• UK Government produced one • but is it doing enough to promote it? • Are businesses independently developing
initiatives to address resource efficiency and life cycle management?
• Are we moving towards waste being valued as a resource?
• What measures should be taken to provide energy, water and food security?
• Resource Depletion • Peak everything? • Resource Autonomy • Renewable resources • Waste Hierarchy • Resource Management • Resource efficient v Resource effective • Design to Reduce Waste • Design for Ease of Assembly • Design for Deconstruction • End of Life Solutions • Design to Reuse Reclaimed

• 7 billion and counting passengers • All want to live a European lifestyle • Europeans live a 3 planet life style • We only have one planet • We need to adopt a one planet lifestyle • We all want cars, fridges, mobile phones,
computers, entertainment centres, • instantaneous responses and no
responsibilities • Finite resources: running out fast • Or adoption of renewable resources 14/02/16

Resource Autonomy
• Fuel Security & Materials Security – Reliance upon the rest of the world to share
• Money can buy anything – if it remains affordable
• Force can get a lot – but it already bites back
• Abundance prevails – The sun is sharing its wealth freely – We could have some of that
• Autonomy is probably possible – But we can make strides – The will is not there yet – EU is pushing but UK are still resisting – And now we consider getting out of the EU 14/02/16 27

• Grow it yourself • Grow building materials • Grow them quickly • Sequestrate carbon in the process • Store carbon • Then reuse it after its been a building • As another building? • ASBP promote renewable materials
