Henning Larsen Architects and Nordic developer NREP have partnered on an ambitious “earthshot” multi-storey residential project that pushes the boundaries of Denmark’s low carbon standards.
The project offers open-source solutions for best practice low-emission construction, featuring assemblies designed for optimal disassembly.
This collection, titled “Innovative Boards,” highlights a range of advanced building boards designed to meet varying project requirements while incorporating recycled content and natural materials. These boards showcase versatile applications in interior and structural solutions with a clear focus on optimising environmental impact, as indicated by key metrics such as Global Warming Potential (GWP) and water usage. Below is an overview of several featured manufacturers and their products:
BEWI ASA, Insulation & Construction
BEWI ASA offers multiple board solutions, primarily focusing on EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) products with varying levels of recycled content. Their Polytop HR Bio board is notable for its GWP of 10.538 kg CO₂-eq per m² and low water usage. The Greenline EPS range, including products from Norway and Denmark, is developed using recycled raw materials, further reducing their environmental footprint. JACKODUR EVO stands out due to its 100% recyclable label and low GWP of 2.554, making it a strong contender for environmentally conscious projects.

EKOPANELY CZ s.r.o.
EKOPANELY's BOARD E40 represents a different approach by focusing on natural fibre-based boards. What makes this product particularly noteworthy is its impressive negative GWP of -68.006 kg CO₂-eq per m², which suggests that its production captures more carbon than it emits. The board also exhibits strong fire resistance (classified as “F”) and requires moderate water usage during manufacturing. This makes it a highly attractive option for architects looking to incorporate carbon-sequestering materials into their designs.
