Join this session to explore how well-designed, low-energy housing can deliver warm, healthy homes using the AECB’s CarbonLite New Build standard as a practical framework. It will show why clear standards matter, how thoughtful materials choices and local supply chains reduce carbon and cost, and the advantage of working to a UK adjusted approach. A Welsh case study from Tai ar y Cyd, with social landlords building to Passivhaus principles, demonstrates how high-performance homes can be delivered at scale with real social benefit.
