Inbuilt to offer tips for selling housing sustainability
Sustainability consultancy Inbuilt (PDF) will host three breakfast meetings for housing associations, RSLs and local authorities attending this year’s Chartered Institute of Housing conference in Harrogate, set for 16 – 18 June.
The events are free to attend for any development directors working within the affordable housing sector. Topics to be covered will include:
- How to achieve genuine sustainability in a recession;
- How to sell sustainability benefits to tenants;
- How to apply Passivhaus principles to social housing new build and refurbishment projects; and
- How to achieve the revised codes and regulations — an inside track on the changes to Part L, SAP and the Code for Sustainable Homes
All delegates attending the breakfast briefings will also receive a subsequent free day’s consultancy from Inbuilt on any of these areas.
“Social housing providers are facing yet another wave of change in the way they are expected to procure, fund and deliver low- and zero-carbon homes,” said Neil Cutland, executive director at Inbuilt. “The advent of a new age of council housing also creates the opportunity for pioneering local authorities to show the way forward, achieving genuine sustainability and significant benefits at a community level not just dwelling by dwelling. We hope the CIOH conference will explore these issues in depth, and we’re looking forward to some very well informed discussions at Harrogate this year.”
