Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Housing and Local Government Shona Robison MSP will deliver the keynote address at this year's Development Conference on 15 March at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Glasgow. 

Development has never been more important as we seek to address the urgent need for housing, during a difficult economic climate with increasing standards.   


What should the Scottish equivalent of Passivhaus look like?

The conference will explore Scottish Government’s commitment to introducing a Scottish equivalent of the Passivhaus standard and any potential impacts on development.  

We will hear from a housing association on its experience mainstreaming Passivhaus, Alex Rowley MSP  and Professor Rohinton Emmanuel from the Built Environment Asset Management Centre (BEAM) at Glasgow Caledonian University.
