Eco Workshop: Sustainable Homes – New Build & Retrofit
This workshop covers one of the most important eco issues today: What practical measures can be taken with existing buildings to make them more sustainable and energy efficient? With housing contributing 22% of the UK’s carbon emissions it is essential that we find ways to reduce this impact if we are to meet our future carbon targets. Our experts will explain the options available on everything from achieving air tightness, insulation requirements and design considerations, to ventilation issues and how to choose between the array of heating technologies that are on the market.
This exciting, family-friendly show, will highlight how we can all live more sustainably in our homes and communities. Offering the latest advice on improving both the energy efficiency and comfort levels of properties – for both new builds & existing homes.
This workshop is aimed at people in the early stages of a project, who have yet to decide what building method they are using. One of the most important decisions you will make during your project is which building system to use, as this is used to construct the superstructure of the house.
