By Jessica Taylor

Architype welcome you to join us at our free seminar and networking event at Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff Bay, 6pm, Tuesday 1st December 2015: Delivering Value For Money In 21st Century Schools – Is Passivhaus The Answer?
In an evening of candid discussion and networking, we will uncover the experience of designing schools to the Passivhaus standard. Come along to explore how Passivhaus can deliver best value for money within the 21st Century Schools Programme. Can it be done? Does it cost more to build? Does it work? What are the actual savings in running costs?
Speakers will share their experience of delivering and monitoring Passivhaus in use, through a range of completed educational projects in both England and Wales.
