Meet Stroma experts at Ecobuild, London: 2nd - 4th March 2010

Published by Lucy Blackwell for Stroma in Environment and also in Communities, Education, Housing

Stroma is pleased to announce that it will be exhibiting the forthcoming Ecobuild event in Earls Court, London, from 2nd-4th March 2010.

Technical Representatives from across the Stroma group will be on hand to discuss our wide range of capabilities, including: certification and training for Energy & Code Assessors, CRC consultancy and project management, building energy performance assessment, testing & improvement, aM&T software, and sustainable design for both new-build and retrofitted housing.

Stroma collectively offers expertise in delivering reductions in energy usage and CO2 emissions, improving occupier comfort and reducing running costs across the residential, commercial and public building sectors. Operating throughout the UK and Ireland, Stroma’s services also include traditional architecture; energy assessment and management; air-tightness and acoustic testing and consultancy; and physical building fabric protection and enhancement works. Our strategies cover all aspects of sustainability and compliance within the built environment, and are tailored to meet the demands of each client and building.

Stroma has been involved in several multiple-building performance improvement projects recently; one significant example being a project for the Isle of Man’s schools. Working on behalf of the Isle of Man Government, the objective was the reduction of CO2 emissions and running costs. Stroma’s approach was to assess current performance through various on-site tests and inspections. Targeted fabric improvement works were then undertaken, followed by building services improvements. Thereafter, better utilisation of controls, behavioural change, building management and ongoing monitoring and targeting become the focus, in a bid to reinvest savings and support a rolling programme of improvement.

Stroma employed a similar ‘fabric first’ approach to the dwellings that featured in the eight TSB “Retrofit for the Future” projects that Stroma has conducted feasibility studies for, alongside partners Connaught, who will carry out the prescribed improvement works in the next stage of the competition.

Looking forward to Ecobuild, Director Robert Coxon, comments: ‘Helped by various Government initiatives, there is increasing acceptance of the need for substantial improvement in the energy performance of both new and existing buildings, not only to reduce emissions but also costs. Stroma is in an excellent position to help builders, landlords, property managers, local authorities and owner/occupiers achieve such targets. Our stand at Ecobuild will reflect our serious capabilities in this regard, albeit presented in a light hearted way… watch this space.’

Ecobuild is the UK’s biggest event for sustainable design, construction and the built environment. With 850 exhibitors showcasing Europe’s best sustainable construction products, and 100 free conferences and seminars to attend, Ecobuild attracts over 300,000 visitors to its three-day event.
