20th Anniversary - Message from our director, Lucy
Submitted by Tess S on
Twenty years ago The Green Register (TGR) was conceived at my kitchen table after months and months of mulling over an idea I'd had to create an independent, sustainable building training organisation.
I had identified three issues I wanted to address, that is to provide:
- unbiased technical information;
- a register of professionals committed to sustainable building available to potential clients;
- a network for like minded people who could support each other and share ideas.
Ascent Architecture - Elgin Park Case Study
Submitted by Tess S on
It’s a single story rear extension to a handsome early Victorian semi-detached villa in Elgin Park, Redland. The extension contains a garden sitting and a dining area and extends back into the existing kitchen which has been refurbished and re-planned, as well as its external openings enlarged to a single opening, in order for the space to flow into the extension.
The extension is very much influenced by principles learned from TGR seminars over the years. Whilst it is not built to Passivhaus principles, it does incorporate:

M Reynolds RIBA Case Study
Submitted by Tess S on
"The Green Register has been a source of information, support and inspiration for our practice since I took Lucy Pedler's 2-day Sustainable Building and Services course and joined TGR in 2010. Over the years I have attended numerous innovative site visits, researched the materials and contacts made, and attended informative seminars, most recently on PAS 2030. All this has been fundamental to the development of our practice specialty in low-carbon design, as well as the expansion of interest in eco-retrofit in Cambridgeshire, and now nationally through webinars." - Margaret Reynolds
