Resource05 - the low-carbon buildings event
Resource05 conference and showcase of energy efficient and renewable technologies - 13-15 September 2005)
The conference programme features presentations from distinguished figures in the fields of sustainable development, energy and renewables.
In addition to the main conference programme, a series of free network sessions and demonstrations will run on a daily basis.
"The first such event last year (resource04) generated great interest," says David Strong, the Managing Director of BRE Environment, "but increasing concern about the momentum of climate change, along with forthcoming changes to the Building Regulations and the EU Directive on the energy performance of buildings, make this year's event more relevant than ever".
As forthcoming legislation will aim to cut energy use in buildings, and encourage sustainable design and the development of low carbon technologies, resource05 will examine the new legislation and highlight the responsibilities and opportunities facing the construction sector.
The conference will also address the need for new ways of working - designing sustainable buildings is likely to require a more integrated process, based on teamwork and involving whole building design.
The programme will include ways of designing holistically with charrettes - facilitated creative workshops that enable the design team to share ideas and work together more closely and effectively.
Organised by BRE, resource05 (www.resource05.com) is sponsored by the Energy Saving Trust and supported by The British Wind Energy Association, CIBSE, DTI, The Energy Institute, The National Energy Foundation, RIBA, the Renewable Power Association and Sponge.
Around 40 organisations are exhibiting at the event including: Dulas, Energy in Buildings and Industry, Imagination Solar, Kair Ventilation, Lankelma, Monodraught, The National Energy Foundation, Proven Energy, The Renewable Power Association, Solar Thermal, Vent-Axia, Windhager, Windsave, Willmott Dixon.
