One of the biggest challenges facing the sector is how we are going to deliver truly "Sustainable" Buildings?
RIBA WM and EH Smith have joined forces once again to offer some stimulation and information.
The day is split into two halves, firstly Howard Liddell, author of "Eco-Minimalism - The Antidote to Eco-Bling" will be starting off the day by giving his views on the 'big issues.'
Howard is a practising Architect and is a principal in the Scottish/ Norwegian Ecological Design practice Gaia Architects, and visiting Professor at Oslo University. He is also the RIAS Sustainability spokesman and a principal adviser to the Scottish Executive on Sustainability and acts as a consultant on eco-building and urban ecology worldwide.
The second part of the day will be a series of CPD's on new building methods and materials ranging from the carbon negative Hemcrete walling system to understanding Airtightness and Moisture Management.
For more information and bookings please contact Stacey Toth at RIBA WM on 0121 2332321 or Stacey.Toth@inst.riba.org - tickets £50.00 each
Architects attending will be able to claim CPD points.

We are proud to annouce that EH Smith Major Projects were selected as winners of the "Best Material Supplier to the Architectural Industry" at the prestigious LEAF Awards in London on Thursday 29th November for the Sir John Lyon House project in Central London.
David Roberts, Divisional Director stated "It is a great honour for us to be selected from such a large audience of suppliers."
The material used on this project is the innovative 'Hydrotect' coated Buchtal Keratwin K12 Terracotta Rainscreen tile.
Hydrotect uses a titanium dioxide (TiO2) coating that gives the tile 'self-cleaning' properties. When rain falls on the tile, it lifts off any dirt or bacteria and cleans the tile. It also cleans the air as pollutants stick to the tile and then wash off which gives it a unique sustainability benefit.

Situated on the banks of the Thames opposite the Tate Modern Art Gallery and set against the famous backdrop of St. Paul Cathedral, Sir John Lyon House is a striking new residential development.
The transition though the colours is a fine example of the versatility of the rainscreen cladding; if desired a different colour for each tile or even different colours within a single tile can be achieved, allowing freehand designs used for a large scale project. Currently 15,000 colours can be chosen from.
