SUMMARY:The Exchange #21 Passivhaus Design
DESCRIPTION:On Monday 22 June 2026\, NTB will be hosting The Exchange #21: Passivhaus Design at the award-winning Dundon Passivhaus\, Somerset. \nWe’ll begin the day with reflections from Graham Bizley (Prewett Bizley Architects)\, who will draw on lessons from Dundon and other Passivhaus projects to share insights into the realities of low-energy design in practice. Graham’s talk will then be followed by a guided tour of the award-winning Dundon Passivhaus — a rare opportunity to experience the building first-hand. \nAfter lunch\, Beth Williams (Momentum Engineering) will take us behind the scenes of structural engineering on Passivhaus projects\, sharing how engineering decisions can influence everything from performance and buildability to the long-term success of a passivhaus building. \nWe can’t wait! \nAgenda\n9:45 | Arrival\, teas and coffees\n10:00 | Introductions and NTB updates10:20 | Reflections on Designing Passivhaus | Graham Bizley\n11:15 | Break\n11:30 | Tour of Dundon House | Graham Bizley12:00 | Lunch13:00 | Structural Engineering on Passivhaus Projects | Beth Williams 13:45 | Reflection and discussion14:00 | Thank you and close \nParking: There will be free parking available for those attending this event.

SUMMARY:The Exchange #20 Specifying Stone
DESCRIPTION:On Monday 18 May 2026\, NTB hosted workshop #20 Specifying Stone at Hadspen Quarry in Somerset. \nWe began the day at Hadspen Quarry – Evercreech Junction Industrial Estate – where we met their expert team\, who introduced us to their stone stock and guided us through the extensive range of local stones. Attendees gained practical insight into what local stones were available\, their potential applications\, and how to approach specifying them in our projects. \nNext\, we travelled to Hadspen’s nearby decommissioned quarry to tour the site and explore the limestone quarrying process in detail. In this beautiful setting\, we enjoyed a picnic lunch\, providing time to network and discuss the potential of local stone in design and construction. After lunch\, we took a short stroll to The Newt in Somerset to explore the impressive use of Hadspen Stone across the country estate. \nAgenda\n9:45 | Arrival\, teas and coffees\n10:00 | Introductions and NTB updates \n10:10 | Introduction to Hadspen Quarry\n10:20 | Tour of Hadspen Quarry Stone Stock and how and where to specify \n11:15 | Travel to Decommissioned Hadspen Quarry\n11:25 | Tour of Quarry and discussion about Limestone Quarrying Process \n12:00 | Lunch \n12.45 | Walk to the The Newt\n13:00 | Tour of the Newt to see Hadspen Stone products in use\n14:00 | Walk Back to Quarry \n14:15 | Thank you and close
