EPISODE 3: Waterproof breathable fabrics in low carbon EnerPHits at scale | December 9 at 2pm GMT

The third episode of the Building Performance Interactive, "Waterproof breathable fabrics in Low Carbon EnerPHits at scale", will focus on deep retrofit, carried out in a rigorous way to help achieve the EnerPHit target in humid climates such as the UK. This innovative approach to deep retrofit has been designed to be replicable, and carbon conscious, reducing the operational energy demand while minimising the embodied carbon impact.

As part of COP26, The Green Register was excited to contribute to an important event hosted in Glasgow by Habitat for Humanity GB: Towards Net Zero Cities Through Green Retrofit/Renovation of Empty Spaces

Join us for our end of year event focusing on off-site manufacture and modern methods of construction. This is our Hot Topic 2021 event and to celebrate you can get 20% the fee if you book before November 25th - we'd love to see you there! 

Our speakers for this event are:

EnerPHit, the lesser-known cousin of Passivhaus, drives down energy use in existing buildings and raises performance to the highest level. Using Passivhaus Planning Package (PHPP) modelling, EnerPHit applies similar rigorous standards to retrofit.

In collaboration with

The UK government has turned their focus recently on to embodied carbon in buildings and tackling the greater carbon impact of our buildings, rather than just the in use emissions. That can be a monumental task, how can one identify the carbon costs of mining, processing and transportation of materials? Does a timber double glazed window have a greater carbon cost if it is made of oak or made of pine? Is cladding better environmentally if it is green larch, or rendered woodfibre?

Our partner organisation the Good Homes Alliance is offering 10 FREE tickets to Green Register members for the opening session of their upcoming online conference series which kicks off with The Big Net Zero Debate on Tuesday 5th October, 1-3pm.

The session features industry experts from TOWN, Green Construction Board, Cambridge City Council, Pollard Thomas Edwards Architects and Building Performance Network posing the key questions facing net zero housing regarding policy, planning, development, design and building performance.

“Without a competent workforce, no amount of building regulations will get us to where we need to be to meet Bristol City Council’s carbon neutrality goals by 2030.”
