Date: 25 June 2014 | Time: 09.00 - 16.30 |
Location: 1 Birdcage Walk, London, United Kingdom, SW1H 9JJ | Cost: Various |
Passivhaus is an engineering approach to the low energy design of buildings giving a far better operational performance than required by current Building Regulations.
The Institution’s Passivhaus seminar will provide you with details on specific projects underway in the UK and discuss how creating beautiful, energy efficient, comfortable and affordable buildings requires an integrated design approach.Hear case studies of completed and ongoing projects including the largest Passivhaus development in the UK: a 12,000m2 medical teaching building for the University of Leicester.This essential seminar will help you learn about the “performance gap” between design aspirations and construction, not only in terms of energy but also comfort performance.
