DESCRIPTION

A one day symposium on zero/low carbon sustainable homes took place at The University of Nottingham on the 24th October, 2012. The event offered professionals within the construction industry a unique opportunity to gain added and significant insight into the innovations, policies and legislation which are driving the construction of zero/low carbon energy efficient homes both here in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. It explored solutions to sustainability issues “beyond” the zero carbon agenda. BZCH followed on from the successful ‘Towards Zero Carbon Housing’ symposium the University hosted in 2007. This event is part of the Europe Wide Ten Act10n project which is supported by the European Commission Intelligent Energy Europe.

What is an Activ- House? Not Passiv-Haus or Active House The Meat Factory 5. Extending the notion of PerformanceNumbers are importantBut getting effective performance depends on so much more than constructionand technologyReductions in carbon footprint are as much conditioned by politics, economics,psychology, culture and beliefThe Meat Factory was an attempt to explore holistically some of the other areaswhere carbon reducing performance might be considered 6. The importance of Context using and givingCommunity Location, Transport and Services 4500kg C02 p.a4500kg C02 p.aSite Site and Primary Energy 7. A Living Brief To respond to the risks of climate change through a change in personal behavior Something that cant be done in theory To explore how to make a holistic home and way of life Through designing an environment and a method of living that would reduce our carbon footprint dramatically To respond to our life circumstances both for the present and for the future Thinking about productive time use opportunities and growing older To reduce our living space, maximise our individual working space, and make an edible garden To provide a shared and flexible space which can be used to suit our ad hoc needs 8.
