Low Carbon Futures: Money does grow on trees

One day conference

***BOOKING NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR THIS EVENT***

A one-day conference organised by RIBA SW and The Green Register, designed to inspire and inform architects and construction professionals that green technology, government initiatives and smart sustainable design choices can help drive the new economy and provide marketing edge over others.

Chaired by RIBA Chief Executive Harry Rich, featuring international input from the Head of Energy at Freiburg Stadt, the Director of the BRE in Wales/South West and cutting edge case studies, the conference looks to showcase the very best of practice and facilitate a forum for sharing knowledge and techniques that are both thought provoking and applicable.

Full programme available soon - please book through the RIBA website at http://www.architecture.com/RegionsAndInternational/UKNationsAndRegions/England/RIBASWandWessex/Continuing%20Professional%20Development/CPD2010.aspx

Building Fabric or Renewables: which is better for sustainable homes?

A brand new one-day course addressing the reduction of energy demand and carbon emissions through building fabric and renewable technologies for both new build and refurbishments.

Building Regulations are set to change later this year as we head down the uncertain road to zero carbon new homes in 2016 and tighter standards for domestic refurbishments. This means a further 25% reduction in carbon emissions for all new homes, and for our friends in social housing they will have to achieve a 44% reduction. In addition, the Code for Sustainable Homes is under review and SAP is changing - what are the best options to achieve these tough new standards?

The speakers, Rachel Mitchell and Phil Neve from Brilliant Futures (both Green Register members), demonstrate that it is possible to design-in measures that result in significant reductions in carbon emissions. They will use real-life examples such as houses built from Code level 3 to Code level 6 and a low carbon refurbishment of an office block.

Becoming an Eco-refurbisher

87% of the homes that will be standing in 2050 are already built (DCLG), which is why government, industry and home owners are all looking into the benefits of refurbishing the existing housing stock.

More and more home owners are staying put in these challenging economic times but want to extend or refurbish their homes to accommodate an expanding family, build a home office or improve the environmental performance of their house.

Architects, surveyors and engineers are realising that there is a real demand for advice and services on renovating houses using sustainable principles but are not sure where to go to gain the knowledge required to undertake these challenging new projects.

This comprehensive training course is designed to provide all the information construction professionals will need to be able to advise their clients on sustainable refurbishment of their homes. Participants will be registered on The Green Register’s website under the ‘Accredited Eco-Refurbisher’ listing, designed to easily identify them to new clients.
