ECD Architects and Keegans have again teamed up with Sustainable Homes (England’s leading sustainable housing training organisation) to bring you an in-depth and interactive 1 day seminar on practical solutions for sustainable refurbishment of existing housing stock.

Refurbishment is the new headline topic for the housing sector. Government is driving refurbishment via the Heat and Energy Saving Strategy consultation and 'Retrofit for the Future' £10m competition. Why wait years to be told what to do? Get ahead now.

Sustainable Homes in partnership with ECD Architects and Keegans have developed a new course which gives you real solutions based on real case studies. You will benefit from our first-hand experience of refurbishment of existing stock with up to 80% less carbon emissions. During the interactive 1-day course you will benefit from: • real-life case studies presented to you by the people who worked on them

• top tips and practical solutions for improving the environmental performance of your stock

• updates on the latest technologies, studies and standards (EcoHomes, PassivHaus

• a look ahead at how to future proof housing and get ready for new standards

• costs and how these can be improved

• examples of improvements to high-rise, flats and terraced properties
