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.
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.
