The unseen infrastructure powering artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t digital—it’s physical: massive data centers filled with thousands of computer servers. As the popularity of AI tools continues to grow, it has triggered a once-in-a-generation construction boom […]
Imagine a power plant fueled by heat generated deep beneath your feet, silently providing renewable energy day and night, independent of weather or sunlight. Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) promise exactly this, tapping into Earth’s internal […]
As many New Zealanders contend with condensation, drafts, and mold this winter, a recent study challenges assumptions about what makes a home drier. It urges green building rating tools to clarify how humidity and dampness […]
It is possible to create little to no rubbish from building construction in regional towns, but the chain of responsibility starts at the top with those commissioning a project needing to consider waste reduction from […]
