Sustainability Week 2026 – Building Better: The Rise of Passive Residential Design

Join us on 7th September for a CPD focusing on The Rise of Passive Residential Design. Passive design principles are transforming how residential buildings are planned, constructed, and occupied. By prioritising energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and reduced operational costs, passive homes are becoming a key part of delivering sustainable housing. This session will explore the fundamentals of passive residential design, showcase successful projects, and examine how surveyors can support clients in meeting increasingly ambitious performance standards. SCSI President Tomás Kelly will be opening Sustainability Week and this CPD will be chaired by Philip Littlewood of Colliers and we will also be joined by Kate Joyce of LDA and Stephen O’Shea from Cairn Homes. Relevant Pathways include: Building Surveying, Quantity Surveying, Residential Agency, Planning & Development, Project Management
