    With respect to applied loads, the multi-storey module handles designs where loads are only applied at the tops of each floor, similar to how individual shear wall element designs are handled by MASS. For a situation where loads are applied continuously along the height of a wall, such as uniformly applied wind pressure, this is accounted for my applying the total lateral force divided by tributary area.

    Raising awareness and lobbying

    Many within the industry have pledged to continue to raise awareness of the urgent need for
    climate change and biodiversity action amongst designers, developers, contractors,
    funders, investors and supply chains. As well as promoting change within the industry, there
    has been a commitment to lobby the government for higher levels of funding and policy
    change in support of these aims.

    Government support for enhanced sustainability in construction is already translating into


    public policy. In September 2019 the Welsh government announced over £30 million for
    innovative housing in Wales – part of a £90 million fund to test new approaches to develop
    sustainable social and affordable housing.

    The new UK government's first budget on 11 March 2020 should provide an insight into the
    government's policies for achieving its own target of net zero emissions by 2050 and is
    expected to include measures around increased investment in the sustainable development
    of homes, schools and hospitals.
