Virtual and Workshop Courses for Self-Builders at the NSBRC
The three customer promises from the NSBRC are to inspire, inform and provide impartial advice. To ensure they continue delivering on these promises, during these uncertain times, the NSBRC have launched a brand new programme of online content to keep your homebuilding project on track.
| Passivhaus Workshop in partnership with The Passivhaus Trust – Fri. 15th & Sat. 16th May |
| The timetable is now available to view for next weekend’s virtual workshop. The Passivhaus standard is designed to deliver comfort, quality and lower running costs, in any type of building. We spend most of our time indoors, so buildings play an important part in our health and wellbeing. This ‘virtual’ workshop offers a full timetable of talks & webinars, question time sessions and live guided tours from the NSBRC across various platforms. There are six live sessions running each day. Each session will be recorded and available to everyone who books and attends the workshop. YOU MUST BOOK BY 5PM ON THURSDAY 14TH MAY. |
