SESSION: Upgrading the UK housing Stock: Insights into the Performance of Ready for Market Retrofit Solutions
The IET is delighted to lend its support to Eco Connect’s 2017 London event and its over-arching theme of ‘the future of housebuilding and retrofit’.
One day, one venue. This event combines two world-class conferences:
The International Refurbishment Symposium (IRS 2017)
‘How to transform Europe’s existing housing stock’ 2017 International Refurbishment Symposium - a world-class line up of contributors:
Find out how others are boosting sustainability, resilience and productivity within the housing retrofit sector
Hear about the latest research, innovations and best practice
Network with industry experts and practitioners, leading academics and policy-makers.
AECB National Conference 2017
‘How to deliver quantity and quality new-build housing at scale’ The Association for Environment Conscious Building (AECB) National Conference 2017:
* Find out how government is responding to the housing crisis
* Discover how development is changing and how to get involved
* Hear from clients who support sustainable development and how to win work from them
* Learn how to build good practice in all your construction projects
Inspired by the challenge of the housing crisis and with rising levels of homelessness and fuel poverty, both at home and abroad, the IET Built Environment has been leading the Institution’s interest in housing retrofit.
#Retrofit for people! Following on from the pioneering work taking place in UK Cities such as Nottingham, Bristol, Oxford and Leeds, the IET is keen to bring together engineers, practitioners and industry experts from the housing sector to celebrate good practice in retrofit and, moreover, to further the cause of healthy, safe and affordable homes for all.
This International Refurbishment Symposium represents an early opportunity to engage with the IET, expert volunteers and practitioners.
