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.
It begins with an idea and ends with your dream home. We've put together a line up that's both informative and inspiring. Across all three days you'll have access to a range of seminars, Q&A sessions, live demos and free one-to-one consultations with our experts, and of course, over 200 exhibitors showcasing the latest building products and services.
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.
