Learn about renewable energy and building design
We've had a lot of enquiries from building professionals about the best integrated design approaches for renewable energy in buildings. Here at GreenEnergy360.org, we always say "be Lean, then be Green". This means first get the basics of your building right (good insulation, effective solar gain through windows and efficient appliances and fittings). Then think about generating your own heat or electrical power using renewables.With this in mind, our colleagues at Loughborough University have recently provided a series of workshops called Design4Life, intended for architects, building engineers and other construction professionals. Having attended each and every one, we feel that they are very relevant to the needs of those of you who are embarking on a building project. So, after asking very nicely, Loughborough Uni have kindly agreed to provide us with bite-size recordings of all the Design4Life workshops. To access them, just click here.
Enjoy!
