Step Place Events, working with Building Research Establishment (BRE) and the Good Homes Alliance (GHA) are delighted to announce a major new exhibition and conference for the housing sector. Housing Expo will incorporate a two-day, free-to-attend exhibition, a series of technical workshops organised and run by the Good Homes Alliance, plus a high level paid for conference organised by Building Research Establishment.
Housing Expo will take place on the 6 - 7 February 2013 at Olympia’s exhibition centre in central London.
The Housing Expo event looks at the full housing life-cycle from design to refurbishment under one roof. Its focus will be on specification and procurement, targeting the people who specify what products and services are used in new and refurbished housing. It is vital that our new housing stock is designed and built to be as sustainable as possible; the UK has some of the most ambitious targets in the world for so-called ‘zero carbon’ standards. Housing Expo will unite the supply chain to look at new build and refurbishment in the housing sector in both the private and social markets.
Housing Expo is supported by the British Property Federation (BPF), Environmental Industries Commission, Federation of Master Builders, The Land Trust, The Concrete Centre, The Passivhaus Trust and UK Regeneration, in addition to these our launch partners and exhibitors include Dalkia, Eurocell, Hewlett Packard, Kingspan Insulations, Senior Architectural Systems and Solarlux.
Pete Halsall, Chairman, The Good Homes Alliance said: “The GHA will be running a series of presentations following on its first one day conference held in October 2012. We are delighted to be working with Step Place Events and BRE in bringing our learning based and highly informative approach to the conference.
Our programme will focus on the key issues in the housing sector and how, using case studies, quality standards, design, sustainability and community - the good homes agenda - can be maintained in an era of budget cuts and financial strain, as well as massive changes in housing, social and planning policy. GHA will be formulating content, organising speakers and delivering a programme of 1/4 day technical seminars at the event.
We will deliver three seminars covering: the performance gap, ventilation and indoor air quality and overheating.
