he most important themes

together at Ecobuild, Futurebuild and Cityscape.
Ecobuild
With zero carbon legislation looming, Ecobuild’s
Road to zero carbon and Zero Carbon House
attractions will be crowd-pullers. The Road to
zero carbon, realised as a series of external wall
elevations, shows how different combinations of
superstructure, insulation and cladding can
contribute to a low carbon outcome.
It’s the Zero Carbon House by Zedfactory
that will be the star of the show, for the wealth
of information that this full-size structure will
convey and for its sheer scale and ambition.
Ecobuild’s organisers will take just three days to
build the house before opening it to visitors on
26 February.
The Zero Carbon House will be a full-size
installation, stripped back to reveal the anatomy
of the building, the design features, products
and solutions which combine to make zero
carbon housing a reality now. Visitors will be
able to tour the entire structure and learn about
the materials used, its systems and energy
performance as well as the pre-fabricated
timber frame panels that will make it possible to
complete the entire structure in just three days
ready for the exhibition!
Team these attractions with the dedicated
