The Passivhaus Centre of Excellence with Home by Milestone

This is an opportunity to attend a one-of-a-kind permanent exhibition & collaboration centre dedicated to Passivhaus & low carbon construction principles, sustainable innovation, and smart eco-living. Housed within the iconic Masson Mills in Matlock, the showroom spans three floors of one of Britain’s most historic industrial buildings. Once home to Sir Richard Arkwright’s revolutionary water-powered cotton mill of 1783, this Grade II* listed site now stands at the forefront of a new kind of revolution in sustainable living. Powered by hydroelectricity and steeped in heritage, Home by Milestone brings together some of the UK’s leading brands in renewable energy, low-carbon construction, and smart home technology under one roof. The visit is for builders, architects, investors and anyone passionate about sustainability. Hosts will chaperone visitors through the 3 floors of exhibition space showing best practise at each stage of the build process following which architects and their clients will be able to access the collaborative workspace where their projects can be brought to life using the centre's audio visual equipment.
