Onsite Learning: Learn from the first education Passivhaus Plus in construction
Join us for this unique opportunity to visit the first education Passivhaus Plus project in the UK. This is a new build school with high sustainability credentials and features which will be explored through a guided site tour, presentation and discussion. The architects and the contractors themselves will take us through the design and delivery process. As the project is in construction phase, you will be able to see many of the design features and low carbon technologies, making this learning experience even more live and interesting!
