A free workshop is being held by the European Solar Shading Organisation (ES-SO) next month in Northern Ireland.

The event will take place from 4.30pm – 6.30pm at the Slieve Donard Hotel in Newcastle, Co Down on 19 April.

The workshop will examine key areas of interest relating to the design of low energy buildings and how solar shading contributes to energy saving, from both a scientific and a technical point of view.

The British Blind and Shutter Association (BBSA) have supported ES-SO in organising the event, which will bring together the leading international experts in the solar shading industry for two hours.
