About the event

This international webinar addresses financial realities in energy-efficient design by comparing projected and actual capital costs across real residential developments. Presentations examine a ninety-home housing association project in Scotland, a comparative evaluation of conventional versus Passive House specifications for an Irish residential development, and project data from Germany illustrating how overall construction inflation alters the efficiency cost premium. Attendees gain practical perspectives on where specific construction cost variances originate and how high-performance envelopes hedge against price volatility, concluding with an interactive moderated roundtable.
