Green Retrofit for housing

A one day conference
Tuesday 11 November 2008 atThistle Hotel, Brighton

Organised by RIBA South East and Low Carbon Trust, supported by SEEDA and SECBE

The Code for Sustainable Homes sets eco standards for domestic new build, but how do we deal with existing housing stock? Can we make houses constructed in the 1970s, the 1930s, or even earlier, come up to modern sustainable requirements? Most of our homes come into this category, so making even a small difference to each will have a huge impact on the carbon footprint of the UK. How do we design with this objective in mind?

Workshop choice 1st choice 2nd choice (delegates will attend one workshop only)

This event gives delegates an understanding of what lean "doing" is about. It will also prove the business case through case studies (tools & techniques) demonstrating practical implementation and pounds & pence savings. The time for action is NOW...unless your option is not to survive.As a result of the day, attendees will be able to:

Who should attend and why?
This workshop is aimed at those who wish to be more competitive in the current "credit crunch" environment - key decision makers who can appreciate the tools and techniques, which are process focused, and assimilate their application with very positive business outcomes.
