Eco Design, Planning & Sustainability
Our experts will explain how your designs, lifestyle and specification choices could impact on your home''s energy performance. This focused workshop will introduce sustainable building materials and the importance of air-tightness and insulation, particularly when considering heat-pumps and ventilation. We’ll explore investing in solar – with an introduction to the primary design requirements, specifications & key ancillary technologies (battery storage & electric vehicle chargers) to maximise the solar contribution for new builds.
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.
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.
