Twilight Talks

The Green Register's early evening talks supported by Ecomerchant: together promoting ethical, healthy sustainable building materials

On the second Monday of each month The Green Register brings you our Twilight Talks - a relaxed and informal string of events on sustainable building matters to complement our regular training topics.

Each one-hour event is FREE of charge and features short talks from one or more speakers. With Q&A and discussion sessions throughout, everyone is invited to be part of the conversation. We hold Twilight talks at 5-6pm, in the sweet spot between work and dinner – so join us to nourish the mind before replenishing the body!

Insulation 2.0: Insulation just needs to insulate, right?.....wrong!

As our understanding of building physics continues to improve the need for insulation materials to be more than just a one trick pony becomes increasingly clear.

Joe Pritchard and Jeremy Hayden are Sustainable Insulation Specialists at Mike Wye Ltd and will be with us to discuss the multiple roles of insulation and to introduce us to the latest, greatest and greenest insulation options available.

Discussing concepts such as breathability, sustainability, thermal mass and impacts on our health, Joe and Jeremy aim to get us thinking about insulation in a more creative and multifaceted way.
