Retrofit for the future
The Eco Design Advisor Conference 2024
5th September 2024 – Christchurch
The Eco Design Advisors are back after a five-year break with a conference! The focus of the 2024 year’s Eco Design Advisor Conference will be on retrofit. Times are tough with the cost-of-living crisis and we are finding more people are focusing on retrofitting and improving their current homes rather than moving homes as frequently.
There are many things to consider when retrofitting – comfort, flexibility/adaptability, design, energy/carbon efficiency, climate proofing your home.
The following day you can join the Superhomes Bus Tour to visit some great examples of Christchurch homes and discuss your learnings.
Professional development for architects and designers, builders, building industry, community housing organisations, council staff, home assessors and advisors, and sustainability experts.
Sponsor us! The Eco Design Advisors invite suppliers, research organisations and agencies to support our 2024 conference.
The Eco Design Advisor conference is where research and policy meet best practice advice for households. The Eco Design Advisor conference provides a unique perspective and is highly valued by practitioners, architects, designers, researchers and building professionals as a multi-disciplinary forum for sharing research, policy, case studies, innovative ideas, and best practice. It is steadily gaining a reputation as a key event in sustainable and healthy building education.
