Seminars

You’ll find four different theatres with seminars on Greener Living, Design & Fabric, Big Green Issues and Case Studies. With a different timetable in each theatre each day, the only problem is deciding between them! Don’t miss feature seminars from TV’s ‘Queen of Green’ Penney Poyzer, eco expert Tim Pullen and a case study on Grand Designs project ‘Crossway’.

Incorporated into the Show this year is the Eco Incentives Event, with its own seminar theatre specialising in the hot topic of the day – how the government’s Feed-In Tariffs can help you make money from energy.

Eco Incentives Event

As well as a seminar theatre, the Eco Incentives Event also plays host to a selection of experts on Feed-In Tariffs and the proposed Renewable Heat Incentives, both of which could help you save - or even make - money.

Meet the teams from Ecomerchant, Solarsense, British Eco, Nu-Heat and Baxi: pick their brains to find out what could work for you. Many will also be offering discounts on orders placed at the Show.
Product Launches

Don’t miss Ecomerchant, the UK’s leading environmental builders merchant, as they launch their new PVT system, which generates solar electricity at the same time as hot water.

This combined system offers improved electrical output, reliable hot water and easier maintenance. It will also take up less roof space than having two separate systems. See it for the first time at the Big Green Home Show!
