The Eco-Friendly "Sustainability" Agenda Is Making Buildings MORE FLAMMABLE


“We have been very concerned about the introduction of highly combustible products into buildings,” he says. “They are often being introduced on the back of the sustainability agenda, but it’s sometimes being done recklessly without due consideration to the consequences. It’s not uncommon for buildings to have blocks of polystyrene up to 30cm deep on the outside, which is an extraordinary quantity of combustible material to be sticking on to a building. There are often ventilation voids between the rainscreen cladding and the insulation to prevent damp, but this also increases the spread of flames.”

Do we have these same highly combustible building products in use here in the United States as part of the sustainability agenda?

I see so bragging about various things being sustainability compliant.
