The New | Renew project has been set up as part of the SWC sustainable construction curriculum expansion programme to deliver informative seminars in response to increasing standards in the industry. The Technology Department at SWC offers a wide variety of courses in sustainable construction including Foundation degrees in Sustainable Construction Engineering, Architectural Technology with Sustainable Design, Civil Engineering and Transport and short courses in Sustainable Construction.
New | Renew aims to follow through with events later in 2011 on the application of the topics Code for Sustainable Homes, PassivHaus standard, renewables for homeowners and green retrofitting. These informative seminars will allow local construction and related business as well as single home owner’s access to leading expertise in the evolving standards the industry must meet in new and refurbishment/retrofit construction work by 2016.
