The National Housing Federation is the voice of affordable housing in England. We believe that everyone should have the home they need at a price they can afford. That’s why we represent the work of housing associations and campaign for better housing. Our members provide two and a half million homes for more than five million people. And each year they invest in a diverse range of neighbourhood projects that help create strong, vibrant communities.

EXHIBITING AND SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
I will highlight the proposed latest changes in regulation together with the importance of careful design to ensure such risks as the ‘Performance Gap’ and ‘Overheating’ are minimised.
Rob Pannel, Managing Director, Zero Carbon Hub
Dhruv Sookhoo, Visiting Lecturer, Newcastle University and ESRC funded doctoral candidate
I will be analysing what good design looks like, the issues that design champions and managers face in working out how much attention to give individual projects, and recognising design metrics as core to business performance in development.
Steve Cole, Policy Leader, National Housing Federation
For good reasons, as housing associations, we tend to focus on homes. However, from climate change to an ageing population, the emergent risks of the 21st century require us to think outside the house and we’ll be exploring what this means for both development and asset management teams.
Speakers outline their discussion topics:
Programme
Making space standards work for you
Is it a step back into 1960s style bureaucracy or the only way to deliver homes fit for the 21st century?

Our panel will explore how to deliver liveable, energy efficient homes.Simon Bradbury, Lecturer in Architecture, Sustainable Design, University of Plymouth Rob Pannel, Managing Director, Zero Carbon HubPaul Cinglio, Sustainability and Asset Strategist, First Wessex

How will you meet the new access standard?
Revised building regulations have given us new requirements for the reasonable provision of adaptable and accessible homes.

15:45 What does good look like? Innovation in housing design
