Making New Housing Sustainable and Energy Efficient.


A short talk to the Calder Valley Community Land Trust on the 22nd August 2018


"I have a little to add to the presentations by Duncan Roberts[1] and Marianne Heaslip[2].
I started work as a building services engineer, the job of making sure the heating, ventilation, lighting and plumbing work. These are essential elements for creating sustainable buildings and have been involved in low energy projects, modelling and measuring for some years.
I would like to introduce 3 ideas that I think helps keep sustainability on the project agenda.
Avoiding sustainability slip,
The value of measurement,
And on being a good citizen.
