Passivhaus pioneer and offsite modular specialist Beattie Passive, a member of the Passivhaus Trust, the Association for Environment Conscious Building (AECB) and the Good Homes Alliance, is hosting two Passivhaus events at its offsite factory in Norwich.
These events will give attendees an insight into the principles of Passivhaus and how the standard can be applied to deliver energy-efficient, net zero homes.
PASSIVHAUS FOR SELF-BUILDERS will be taking place on Wednesday 11th October and NET ZERO FOR NEW BUILD AND RETROFIT on Tuesday 17th October. Both events will run from 10am to 12pm at Beattie Passive’s factory — Unit 1, Carrow Works, Norwich, NR1 2DD.
The first event is specifically for self-builders that are interested in the energy and carbon-saving benefits of Passivhaus. The second event is designed for local authorities, housing providers, policy makers, architects, builders, developers, and anyone else with an interest in building new net zero homes to Passivhaus standard (or retrofitting their existing housing stock to EnerPHit standard).
Ron Beattie, Founder and Managing Director of Beattie Passive, said: “These events are part of our mission to promote sustainable building practices. Passivhaus has become synonymous with energy efficiency, and for good reason — a Passivhaus needs as little as 10% of the energy required by a conventional UK home — but we shouldn’t overlook the other benefits, such as thermal comfort, noise reduction and air quality.
“Passivhaus is a panacea for many of the challenges facing the housebuilding sector — it can put an end to fuel poverty, raise living standards and eliminate damp and mould. At our net zero event, we’ll be paying particular attention to the environmental benefits of Passivhaus, and the role the standard plays in the delivery of net zero homes and retrofit projects.”
Both events will conclude with a guided tour of Beattie Passive’s 100,000 sq. ft. housebuilding factory. Attendance is free, but spaces are limited. To register, visit https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/beattie-passive-39885416113
