A forthcoming
conference, Resilient Housing, a collaboration between Modern Masonry, Brick
Development Association, The Building Centre and The Concrete Centre will be
providing the latest guidance and technical expertise to enable the design and
delivery of long-lasting and high-performance homes.
This one-day event,
free to attend for delegates, on Tuesday 15th October 2019 will address how our
housing can be designed and delivered to respond to:
•
Warming climate and overheating risk - the greater need to keep our buildings
cool as well as warm.
•
Changing weather patterns and flood risk – the increased risk of flooding and
storm events.
•
Changing demographics - different types of housing need to accommodate
increasing elderly population and more
urban living.
•
Energy availability and fuel poverty – the need to improve energy efficiency
and achieve high thermal performance.
•
Sustainability credentials – including traceability of material supply, low
carbon and recyclability.
•
Occupant safety and comfort – the importance of fire resistance, health and
wellbeing, thermal comfort.
The conference is
supported by product, design and construction experts who will be sharing best
practice guidance on the specification of concrete and masonry for housing.
The conference
sessions from technical experts will include exemplary case studies including:
Gainsford Road
Project by Gort Scott Architect which provides affordable one-bedroom homes for
first-time buyers in Walthamstow. Baker Place by OMI Architects. We are also
delighted to welcome speakers from Good Homes Alliance, Barratt Homes, Delta
Membranes and Assael Architecture.

discover innovations that enable the delivery of energy efficient, fire
resistant, flood resilient housing with expert speakers also covering health
and wellbeing.
