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.

  • 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.
