NSBRC's Self Build & Renovation Workshops

The National Self Build and Renovation Centre runs a variety of popular one or two-day Workshops through the year which focus on very clear themes, covering topics such as selecting the building system that is right for you, how to make your house Eco-Friendly, and perfecting a Passivhaus.

These workshops allow you to speak to numerous experts in different fields, so you will leave filled with knowledge, ideas and inspiration. See below the range of Workshops we have on offer for you.

  • Eco Workshops

    Whether you’re motivated by saving the environment or saving money, our range of Eco Workshops will help you make smart, sustainable choices. You’ll hear from industry professionals throughout the day, as well as having the opportunity to engage with them directly, to share your plans and get personalised guidance on bringing your vision to life.

    These Workshops are designed to bring a wealth of independent and informed advice on the latest energy-saving technologies and eco-friendly building and renovation techniques. From green building principles, air-tightness and insulation to renewable energy, heating systems, smart upgrades and beyond; our expert-led sessions are packed with practical advice for every stage of your project.

    Each workshop is focused on a specific area of energy-efficient homebuilding, so you can choose the sessions that match your needs – or come along to all four, as you’re bound to discover something new each time!

  • Passivhaus Workshop

    The Passivhaus standard is designed to deliver comfort, quality and lower running costs, in any type of building. We spend most of our time indoors, so buildings play an important part in our health and wellbeing.

    The most successful and cost-effective way of achieving Passivhaus is by incorporating the standard before your designs are complete. It’s also useful if the Passivhaus elements are included in your planning application.

    Take advantage of this free workshop and ensure you have the right team behind you for your Passivhaus home. This workshop will offer a full timetable of seminars, question time sessions and live guided tours from the NSBRC technical experts.
