Does the Future of Sustainable Construction Lie in the Past? | Ubrix Sessions with Nigel Copsey

Traditional materials aren’t “old fashioned” – they might be the key to fixing the climate, comfort and durability issues modern construction keeps creating. In this Ubrix Session, stonemason and building conservator Nigel Copsey joins us to explore a question the sector can no longer avoid: have we misunderstood what sustainable construction really looks like? With over 40 years of experience, work across the UK, US and Europe, and deep research into traditional mortars, Nigel explains: why modern buildings overheat, trap moisture and fail faster how lime, earth and breathable materials outperform cement why homeowner education is just as important as construction technique the carbon reality behind cement vs traditional mortars how old buildings manage moisture, heat and salts more intelligently than new ones the skills gap that’s holding the industry back what the next generation already understands about climate-smart building If you care about sustainability, building health or the future of home construction, this conversation will change how you see the industry.
