We run four Eco Workshops annually, with each session focusing on a particular phase or aspect of energy-efficient homebuilding, so you can pick and choose which event to attend that are most relevant to your particular project – or join us for all four, as you’re bound to discover something new each time!
Industry experts will be on hand to discuss green ideas and designs to help guide you through the plans you have for your home.

Eco Design, Planning & Sustainability
Our experts will explain how your designs, lifestyle and specification choices could impact on your home's energy performance.
This focused workshop will introduce sustainable building materials and the importance of air-tightness and insulation, particularly when considering heat-pumps and ventilation. We’ll explore investing in solar – with an introduction to the primary design requirements, specifications & key ancillary technologies (battery storage & electric vehicle chargers) to maximise the solar contribution for new builds.
Workshop Highlights:
- Event introduction by our industry expert
- Q&A panel session
- 1:2:1 expert appointments with our exhibitors
