Homes, schools and hospitals at OFFSITE2007

BRE’s OFFSITE2007 (11-14 June) will explore how modern construction and advanced technologies are coming together to deliver higher performing, more sustainable and smarter buildings. See some of the very latest, near zero-carbon houses - possibly the first to achieve Level 6 of the new Code for Sustainable Homes.

• Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) - such as off-site manufactured systems and innovative on-site construction methods
• Smart technologies - control systems and sensors for monitoring; and intelligent technologies for whole-building communication
• Sustainable technologies - recycled building products and sustainable building materials; new products from natural resources and application of industrial by-products for construction

The event features a conference plus exhibitions, demonstrations and a selection of brand new full-scale off-site and MMC buildings on the BRE Innovation Park, which will be retained on the site for two years after the event for demonstration and training purpose.
