Mission

NEB Academy’s mission is to train, upskill, and reskill the construction ecosystem to achieve a carbon neutral building sector and a beautiful, sustainable, and inclusive transformation of the built environment.

The topics we address …

Using renewable, natural materials like wood, hemp, or straw in construction, promoting sustainability, reducing carbon footprints, and enhancing environmental resilience and resource efficiency.

+ Circular

Designing structures with reusable, recyclable materials, minimizing waste, and extending building lifecycles to promote sustainability and resource efficiency in construction.

+ Regenerative

Enhancing ecosystems by using sustainable materials and design, restoring natural environments, improving biodiversity, and creating structures that positively impact the environment and communities.

+ Long-life

Prioritizing durability, adaptability, and resilience, designing structures that last through generations.

+ Digital

The use of digital tools to optimise design, planning, construction and maintenance.
