Industry Concern Over New Energy Initiatives
Delegates at a seminar held at BRE, voiced their concerns about the implementation of the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.
For the construction industry, this means that sustainability is becoming a key issue in development and regeneration schemes up and down the country.
In the South East alone, over GBP 600 million is allocated to development in areas such as the Thames Gateway, Milton Keynes and Ashford.
At the same time, a growing number of private-sector clients are making sustainability the focus of their design briefs.
It is with this in mind that the seminar has been organised.
It will include demonstrations of how the BREEAM and EcoHomes environmental assessment schemes can be used to help meet sustainability targets.
Workshop sessions will discuss issues that are of specific concern to housing and offices and the environmental assessment process will be explained.
The seminar will be held on 19th July 2005 at BRE, Watford.
The cost is GBP 100 per delegate (excl.VAT) and all candidates will receive a CPD certificate for three hours.
