Light sampling of the products - which include bitter, amber, pale ale and porter, plus a special seasonal beer - will be permitted in order to understand the different product requirements.

The high energy solutions used to maintain building occupant health and comfort in cities are succumbing to a vast range of problems. Apart from high cooling loads, requirements for artificial lighting and trends towards a wholly mechanically driven environment, the resultant energy use itself creates a regional heating effect that demands even more energy to address the extra cooling need. This seminar is devoted to demonstrating the passive features that are essential if this unsustainable energy dependency is to be brought under control.

The invited contributors are internationally renowned and have vast practitioner experience. They are all exceptionally skilled in their fields. This seminar thus presents a unique opportunity to learn from and meet with some of the world's leading experts.

Widen your horizons and see the planet with CIBSE Home Counties North West.
HCNW have specially-arranged to screen this staggeringly beautiful film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, released for World Environment Day in 2009. The thoughtful "Home" delivers its environmental and sustainability message through aerial photography, revealing the full glory of our intensely-colourful planet. With measured narration by Glenn Close, "Home" glides along Armand Amar's soundtrack to a surprisingly uplifting ending.
