Meet our experts – Portakabin offers expertise at ecobuild 2018 At ecobuild 2018 Portakabin is offering attendees the opportunity to meet the company’s offsite and modular experts including Sustainability Lead Dr Penny Carey and Education Specialist Emily King.
As Sustainability Lead, Penny has over 15 years’ experience in environmental consultancy and almost 30 years in building energy. This wealth of experience has allowed her to develop a robust understanding of sustainable building design, environmental legislation, building regulations compliance, thermodynamic energy modelling and environmental assessment methods. She is an accredited Non Domestic Energy Assessor and qualified BREEAM Assessor. Emily is a construction and education professional. She joined Portakabin as the company’s Education Specialist and has worked extensively with the ESFA and on the Priority School Building Programme. A graduate in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Emily has previously held roles for leading construction consultants, including Arup and Mott MacDonald. Earlier in her career she taught physics and was Head of Science and Technology at a secondary school, giving her exceptional practical insight into teaching and learning. Portakabin will be showcasing some of its most impressive projects including North Middlesex University Hospital’s Women and Children’s Centre and Global Academy, the UK’s first University Technical College to be built offsite which combines modular and traditional construction enabling the structure to grow at twice the speed of a fully traditional project.
As part of an Explore Offsite Masterclass Session on Wednesday 7 March, Emily will also offer insight into how Portakabin is meeting school building requirements through offsite and modular technology. The forum style session will include other panellists Rosemary Jerrit and Richard Crosby from the Education Skills Funding Agency. Portakabin experts will offer a range of topics including sustainable design features, sector-specific construction requirements, modular and offsite capabilities, site accommodation solutions and emergency planning. During the booking process attendees can suggest key questions and topics for discussion to enhance their session and get tailored advice and insight. After their appointments, attendees will be offered the chance to arrange a visit to the Portakabin manufacturing site in York to see the company’s unique process of modular construction in action.
Attendees can pre-arrange appointments to learn from industry experts and discover how their expertise can help create a modular project. Over the three-day event attendees will be able to book time slots with their chosen expert via the Portakabin website or at stand E50 during the event.
