ECO Workshop - Eco Design, Planning & Sustainability
Stand 58 - National Selfbuild & Renovation Centre, Swindon (just off J16 M4)

Whether your motivation is saving the environment or saving money, the programme of Eco Workshops should have the answers you’re looking for! You should gain a wealth of independent and informed advice and information on the latest energy-efficient technologies, products and services; sustainability; environmentally responsible building principals and retrofitting of existing properties.

Each of the Eco Workshops focuses on a particular phase or aspect of energy-efficient homebuilding, so you can pick and choose which workshops to attend that are most relevant to your particular project.  

Find out more about the Eco Design, Planning & Sustainability Workshop and book tickets here.

Industry experts will be on hand throughout the day to provide you with the opportunity to discuss your green ideas, designs and any plans you have for your home. One-to-one appointments will be available to book in the main piazza.  

Experts will explain the options available to people considering eco technologies for their homes and advise on everything from achieving air tightness, insulation requirements and design considerations, to heating ventilation and solar technologies. This is your opportunity to get the facts straight from the experts, hear what’s happening with government incentives, and understand the green investment opportunities different technologies offer, so you can balance upfront costs with the long-term savings they may provide.
