Event: Achieving low carbon housing; closing the performance gap

MAR 09

Achieving low carbon housing; closing the performance gap
The Lighthouse, 11 Mitchell Lane, Glasgow,G1 3NU

This seminar, in partnership with Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust (JRHT) and Architecture and Design Scotland, will examine the results of performance measurement at the JRHT development, Elm Tree Mews, as well as other monitoring by GHA, Ecos and others. This research has in all cases revealed a significant gap between as-designed and as-built energy performance of new homes.

Speakers will explore what is happening in Scotland, including research about sustainability in Building Regulations; the implications for industry and policy-makers; and the experiences of a local housing provider that is mainstreaming innovative approaches to low energy design across Argyllshire. 

This event is aimed at all practioners involved in the delivery of  housing; including policy makers, planners, developers, architects, local authorities, housing providers, developers, contractors and supply chain representatives.

Registration and Lunch 12.30, seminar 13.30 – 17.15 followed by drinks and networking.

Ecomerchant are kindly sponsoring the drinks.  This is a great opportunity to meet your colleagues at the event and share ideas and experience.

Speakers include Nigel Ingram, Director of Development and Property Services,
Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust and Dr Jez Wingfield, Leeds Metropolitan University.
