On the second Monday of each month The Green Register brings you our Twilight Talks – a relaxed and informal string of events on sustainable building matters to complement our regular training topics.

Each one-hour event is FREE of charge and features short talks from one or more speakers.

The first part will be an online Twilight Talk on Monday 11th March (17.00-18.00) where Josh from Green Trace Architect will explain the principles behind the design of his house and how being the architect, builder and client brings its own challenges and joys. The house is being built on a small, somewhat challenging plot in St George, Bristol and has a number of sustainable features such as an air source heat pump, MVHR, solar panels and a construction system based on natural materials including a timber structure, blown cellulose insulation, external wood fibre and lime render. The system is low-carbon, air-tight and breathable, and has been adopted on other projects by Josh, such as the Fawley Passive House in Herefordshire.
