All too often, BASIX is often treated as a compliance tool and not a sophisticated testing opportunity for sustainability. However, merely targeting the minimum scores is no longer enough to prove the sustainability credentials, for houses or apartments. Indeed, many councils and developers are looking to showcase their innovative designs through significantly elevated scores for water, energy and thermal comfort.


So how can we all get the best out of BASIX? 


How can we use it as an informative design verification tool, rather than just an annoying afterthought? How is it best used to achieve superlative performance for thermal comfort, water and energy? And which technologies and design characteristics will achieve brilliant scores, at low cost? This presentation will endeavour to answer all of these challenging questions, and more...
