Monthly update of News and Events from The Building Centre http://www.buildingcentre.co.uk en-gb Wed, 14 July 201014:23:59 GMT Copyright: (C) The Building Centre http://www.specifinder.com/images/feed_logo.gif http://www.buildingcentre.co.uk The Building Centre has been a hive of activity during June and there are still more events to come this summer. The Building Centre was a focal point for this year's London Festival of Architecture. NLA's Pop-Up Park just outside was extremely popular for events and picnics, benefitting from the sunny weather. Talking of sun, The Building Centre's photovoltaics events will be discussing this technology both at our London location as well at a new, regional series starting in the west of England. Other events include Passivhaus: Principles and Examples which is the beginning of a new series on energy. http://www.buildingcentre.co.uk Wed, 14 July 201014:25:59 GMT General On Thursday 15 July we are running Passivhaus: Principles and Examples. This half day seminar will look at the principles and performance standards of Passivhaus and give practical guidance on the requirements for certification. Late July leads us to the Photovoltaics in Small Projects Workshop on Tuesday 27 July in Frome, Sommerset. It will inform on how cost-effective photovoltaics can be installed to take advantage of the new feed-in tariffs. NLA Events include King's Cross and Euston on Tuesday 20 July, 9.00am - 5.00pm. This is their next 'on location' event, where you can hear from key developers and architects about their ambitions for the area. http://www.buildingcentre.co.uk/events/forthcoming_events.asp Wed, 14 July 201014:25:59 GMT Exhibition If you're attending our photovoltaics or Passivhaus events, why not visit our Information Centre while you're here.
