Energy Efficient Building Seminar: Empowering you for nZEB - Online CPD Seminar Series

The EEBS seminar will take place this year as an online live event from February 25 to March 16.

What is EEBS?

The construction and operation of buildings accounts for almost 40% of energy use. By 2030, all new buildings must be practically energy neutral.

The Energy Efficient Building Seminar (EEBS) provides a comprehensive approach to sustainable building design and construction in accordance with the requirements of nZEB.

Making the right choices regarding the design, materials and construction of a building will help reduce the amount of energy consumed throughout its lifetime.

About this Event

Partel in partnership with KORE, Daikin, NorDan, Harmony Timber Solutions and Lunos are responding proactively to the latest changes to the building regulations by hosting a series of online nZEB related seminars.

Bringing together experts from across the building industry, the online live seminars will present a series of envelope and building performance solutions that will help you achieve nZEB standards for both new-build and retrofit projects.
