Drop-In Clinic (Ventilation)
Creating a comfortable, healthy, and energy-efficient home starts with getting the building fabric right. At the NSBRC, we call this taking a ‘fabric first’ approach. Ventilation can determine how your home performs - impacting everything from heat retention and energy bills to air quality and long-term durability. Getting this balance right early in the design stage is essential to avoid problems such as overheating, condensation & poor indoor air quality. During your visit, you’ll be able to explore materials and systems, attend expert-led seminars, guided tours and book free 1-to-1 consultations to discuss your project questions & concerns.
Start creating your perfect home at The National Self Build & Renovation Show. With an unrivalled line up of exhibitors and experts on hand to share advice, this is a brilliant event if you are thinking about finding a plot and building a brand new home, renovating a tired property or even extending your current home.
The Passivhaus standard is designed to deliver comfort, quality and lower running costs, in any type of building. We spend most of our time indoors, so buildings play an important part in our health and wellbeing. The most successful and cost-effective way of achieving Passivhaus is by incorporating the standard before your designs are complete. It’s also useful if the Passivhaus elements are included in your planning application.
Understanding the planning process is one of the most important first steps to a successful self-build, renovation or extension project. Join our free Drop-In Clinic for expert-led seminars and one-to-one advice covering planning permission, permitted development rights, planning applications and common pitfalls to avoid. Whether you''re just starting out or preparing to submit an application, you''ll leave with the knowledge and confidence to move your project forward.
