Higher Education
HHP regularly runs tours and gives presentations for Universities & Further Education colleges (see below). However we are happy to discuss other ways in which we can work with you and your students. We have got involved in a number of joint ventures, studies and student research projects over the years. Recently these have included:
- Supporting increased knowledge and skills of building professionals in delivering low carbon buildings (Loughborough & Nottingham Universities)
- Monitoring performace of HHP wind turbine (Loughborough University)
- Water quality from rainwater collection system at HHP (Loughborough University)
- Air-tightness of buildings (Leeds Metropolitan University)
- Development of web based network for building professionals interested in sustainable development (Zero Emission Network) (University of Nottingham)
- Monitoring and study of water voles and water shrews at HHP (Brackenhurst, Nottingham Trent University)
Tours of HHP
We would recommend the following (links take you to relevant event section):
• FE colleges/ University undergraduate courses – Standard tour
• Postgraduate courses – Technical tour or HHP Master Class
We offer one free academic place per visit and the visiting lecturer receives a complementary set of HHP technical factsheets.
"Thank you very much for a fantastically informative and engaging visit to the Hockerton. Again, the students found it very useful and interesting. I hope we continue coming to you each year and with larger numbers." (Swinal Samant, Lecturer in Architecture, University of Nottingham, April 07)
Presentations/guest lectures
We have delivered presentations to a wide range of courses; including architecture, building & construction, planning, and mechanical engineering. However we would be happy to discuss the applicability for other courses.
In general the presentations focus on covering aspects of the Hockerton Housing Project, but we are happy to adapt them to focus on particular areas of interest.
If you would like to discuss or arrange for a HHP member to provide a lecture for your course, please contact us at hhp@hockerton.demon.co.uk or call 01636 816902.
