Lunch & Learn: Evolving your design
PART OF THE FUTURE HOMES STANDARD ESSENTIALS SERIES
The Future Homes Standard represents an opportunity for homebuilder to evolve their designs in a holistic and coordinated way. Rather than FHS elements being ‘bolted on’ to existing designs, homebuilders need to consider how fabric, ventilation, heating and other requirements work together to deliver high-performing homes and good outcomes for customers. The design changes needed to integrate new elements are often not trivial and may drive significant changes to layouts.
A Future Homes Standard home is a finely tuned system, and good design depends on early collaboration between architects, heating designers, energy assessors and procurement teams. Design should be developed and coordinated before procurement, with changes during construction carefully controlled to avoid undermining performance or creating unintended consequences.
Join a panel of industry experts as they explore the principles of good, timely and coordinated design for the Future Homes Standard. Drawing on lessons from those already adapting their house types, the webinar will highlight the opportunities to improve design, reduce delivery risk and make use of the growing range of practical guidance available from the Future Homes Hub.
