Planning for Low Carbon Heat

Planning for Low Carbon Heat

Tuesday 12 March, Edinburgh

The way we heat our buildings is going to change dramatically in the coming years. The new Planning (Scotland) Bill, Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategies and district heating regulations will have a significant impact on how planning approaches energy and place, with the potential to improve air quality, reduce carbon emissions and create new, local economic opportunities.

Zero Waste Scotland is hosting a free workshop in Edinburgh on Tuesday 12 March 2019 to help planners understand more about the changing policy landscape and how these changes might be addressed in practice. The session is free to attend for all planning professionals, whether in the public or private sector.

At the workshop, you will have the chance to hear about:

  • Developments towards the Planning (Scotland) Bill, the further rollout of LHEES and the introduction of district heating regulations
  • Feasibilities and the energy statement
  • Insights and experiences of planning for low carbon heat from case study speakers

The session is designed to help planning professionals network and share your experiences in an open and informal environment. Speakers will include SEPA, Arup, Zero Waste Scotland and more.

You can secure your place by clicking the green Register button towards the top right of this page.

Further workshops are planned for home builders and housing associations. If you would like to know more about these sessions, please contact Drew Murphy on drew.murphy@zerowastescotland.org.uk.

Conference Stained Glass Dealing with Environmental Deterioration

27 March 2019
London

Environmental deterioration is arguably the most serious risk facing stained glass
windows. Historic England is hosting a one-day conference to look at its causes and its treatment. This will present the results of our research project looking at the design and efficacy of “environmental protective glazing” (ventilated secondary glazing), and will launch the consultation on our forthcoming Guidance Note (Stained Glass: Dealing with Environmental Deterioration).

Speakers including Tobit Curteis, Leonie Seliger, Steve Clare, Andrew Arrol,
Chris Wood, Giles Proctor, and Robyn Pender will be discussing all aspects of the
protection of stained glass endangered by environmental deterioration: practical
conservation and research, case studies, and planning issues.

An unmissable event for everyone interested in ecclesiastical buildings; for all
building conservation advisors, funders, architects and surveyors; and for all owners
and custodians of fragile stained glass or other decorative glazing.

BRAZILIAN MODERNISM

27 February 2019
London

ALL WELCOME
Reyner Banham has described the pioneering work created in Brazil in the 1940s and 50s as forming the first ‘national’ style in modern architecture. While Europe and the USA were involved in World War II and its aftermath, the buildings of Oscar Niemeyer, Lúcio Costa and many others, took the ideas and forms of Le Corbusier (in particular) into new and exciting directions.
In the 1970s and 80s a further generation including Vilanova Artigas and Lina Bo Bardi represented a new toughness: this work, perhaps lesser known, is of equal interest and value in understanding the particularly Brazilian achievements in modern architecture.
Andrew Higgott will outline this story, with a particular emphasis on the contrasting approaches of Niemeyer and Bo Bardi.
Andrew is an architectural writer and teacher who has lectured widely, and has had teaching positions at the Architectural Association and the University of East London.
