CPD Seminars

Our Continual Professional Development (CPD) seminar series cover a broad range of low carbon technologies and construction techniques based on our unique experience at Earthship Brighton and accompanies our book 'Earthships: building a zero carbon future for homes'.

Typically our seminar lasts 1 hour with a thirty minute presentation followed by questions and answers. Using Earthship Brighton as a model of sustainability our seminar covers:

What are earthships?
The five elements of sustainable building - a holistic view
Earthship Brighton as a case study - background, planning issues, funding, finance and building control
Use of low impact materials in construction - using local, recycled, waste, natural and renewable materials, including waste car tyres
Passive solar design - enjoying the suns free energy for space heating
Renewable power - on-site generation of power for electricity and water heating with photo-voltaic panels, solar thermal panels, wind turbine and wood pellet stove.
Rainwater Harvesting - free water from the skies with no mains connection and subsequent groundwater depletion.
