NEW Net Zero Carbon Tutorials

While we adjust to the Corona Lockdown, we must continue tackling the Climate Emergency and maintain the momentum which led to a stream of declarations to achieve Net-Zero. But what does that mean to the built environment? Do we know how to design and deliver a true net-zero building?

This new series of online tutorials, based on the successful Passivhaus Masterclass: Getting to Net Zero, offers the same depth of knowledge and expertise. Explore issues surrounding net-zero, and gain practical illustrations of what it takes to get to net-zero in both operational and embodied carbon. What can be done at the design stage to achieve the biggest impact? Limited to 30 people, these tutorials offer a chance to learn directly from, and engage with, expert speakers.

 

The impressive research work and presentation on the performance gap between the present Part L Building Regs and actual reality was crystal clear. This knowledge will give us great backup in trying to persuade the industry to build better."

These tutorials will be of interest to anyone (particularly those in furlough) who wishes to understand why many low-energy eco-homes are far from net-zero. Architects, designers, and consultants who need to explain to clients how to achieve a zero-carbon building in practice will benefit.

The Passivhaus masterclass was a great way to understand the route to zero carbon and balancing the challenges we face in achieving a true zero carbon in construction and in use."
