New energy savings in homes factsheets from CIBSE

There is much conflicting information on how to reduce energy and water use in residential buildings but authoritative free factsheets are now being produced by CIBSE, the leading source of industry good practice on energy savings in buildings. The factsheets will help developers, planners, designers and homeowners understand where to spend their effort for maximum effect.

The factsheets will be available this summer and will cover:

•

• •

Fabric analysis (the building envelope) Energy supply and efficiency

Low carbon and renewable solutions • Water demand, consumption and recycling

You can access the factsheets by visiting www.cibse.org, logging in and visiting the downloads area in the Knowledge Bank, which contains a wealth of free information.

New Homes Group formed

CIBSE is pleased to announce the formation of a new Special Interest Group, ‘Homes for the Future’. This group addresses the growing need for information about low carbon homes, both for new build and refurbishment projects.

An initial workshop to plan the group’s programme will be held in the early summer. To receive more information about the group, please email Nyree Hughes, Technical Networks Manager at CIBSE (nhughes@cibse.org).
