Energising Construction: Vision for North-east to be discussed at low-energy construction conference

The findings of an investigation into the energy performance of building and construction in the North-east will be discussed at a conference entitled ‘Energising Construction: The Future’ at Robert Gordon University’s Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and Built Environment (SSS) on Wednesday 25 January.

The Building Performance Investigation was commissioned by Energetica, the vision for a world-leading energy technology development between Aberdeen and Peterhead, and examines the current and future energy performance of residential building.

The one-day conference, sponsored by Aberdeenshire Council, Scottish Enterprise and Ledingham Chalmers, aims to bring together architects, designers, environmental and sustainable consultants, developers, house builders, social housing providers and surveyors, to discuss the findings of the Investigation. Attendees will also have the opportunity to share their experiences and obtain clarification in terms of Scottish Government policy.

Gerard Buda, Conference Co-ordinator and Senior Lecturer at the SSS, explains:

“The Conference offers the built environment community an opportunity to learn more about the Energetica vision and how it will seek to influence best practice in low-energy construction and the Scottish government’s low carbon green agenda, in terms of residential construction and energy supply and demand.”

The programme will feature presentations by representatives from Energetica, the Scottish Government, academics and leaders in the field of low-energy residential development from across Scotland. The views of the built environment community will also be captured in a series of workshops covering low and zero carbon technologies, modern methods of construction and innovation.
