LowCarbon-FireSafe - Innovare Offsite

Designing Low Carbon Fire Safe buildings and leading the way in sustainable, compliant, and rapid build offsite construction solutions.

By prioritising low-carbon solutions through advanced material choices and cutting-edge design, Innovaré reduces both embodied and operational CO, achieving Passivhaus energy standards and net-positive carbon outcomes through timber-based sequestration.

LOW CARBON

Innovaré structures use a high proportion of timber with naturally low embodied carbon. This significantly reduces steel content and embodied carbon by more than 40%.

Innovaré can quantify embodied carbon savings by reducing the use of steel and concrete, while also enhancing sequestration by storing more carbon within the structure. Combined with airtight, low U-value design, timber ensures high energy efficiency, reduced heat loss, and consistently low operational CO2.

Targeted operational carbon

Clients are under increasing pressure to respond to targets set by local and central Government to reduce carbon emissions and deliver a Net Zero Carbon UK economy by 2050.

Innovaré Offsites timber-based solutions give you a clear path to compliance—and beyond.

Timber outperforms steel – Carbon performance is 110x better; thermal performance is 384x better.
Proven impact – We can quantify the embodied carbon benefits of timber for your project.
Net Zero ready – Delivering to Net Zero Carbon in Operation (NZCiO) and Passivhaus Standards.
Lower heat loss – Improved thermal efficiency cuts operational energy demand.
Reduced embodied carbon – Minimise the carbon footprint from day one.
Enhanced sequestered carbon – Store more carbon in the structure itself.

Result: Lower operational costs, higher environmental performance, and full alignment with local and central government targets.

FIRE SAFE

Tested Beyond the Standard – Post-Grenfell, fire safety is not optional—it’s essential. Innovare Offsite leads with rigorous testing and real-world performance data.

We have undertaken testing to prove the fire resistance performance of our i-FAST panel and where the current industry standards are based on tests conducted with 3m panels in height. Innovaré tested using load-bearing panels of 5m in height at the UKAS accredited Thomas BellWright International Fire Test Laboratory in Dubai as the UK lacks the facilities to test panels over three meters in height. Fire mitigation is at the heart of our design and construction and we achieve this by using fire-resistant materials within our panelised systems, designing compartments that contain and slow the spread of fire.

Demand for evidence-based fire resistance testing

Fire mitigation during construction – Strategies and materials to reduce risk on-site.
Proven i-FAST fire resistance – Independently tested beyond standard conditions.
Beyond industry norms – While the standard is 3m panels, we tested load-bearing panels of 5m height.
Global expertise – Partnered with Thomas Bell-Wright in Dubai, home to the world’s only fully loaded 5m test facility.
Comprehensive testing – Timber structures, charring calculations, walls, roofs, and junction details.
Fire-resistant materials – Integrated for lasting protection.

Outcome: Safety that’s tested, certified, and future-proofed.
