All new buildings will need to be zero carbon within a decade, starting with a 25% reduction in CO2 emissions next October, while CO2 emissions from existing buildings need to be approaching zero by 2050. We are now seeing a move from demonstration projects to an increasing number of real world low and zero carbon buildings being built.
This conference will showcase some of the best of these real world projects, with a strong focus on the steps and measures taken and the impact it had on the construction process. This will provide delegates with a unique opportunity to learn from those at the leading edge of compliance with this fast approaching standard.
There will be presentations on low and zero carbon homes, offices, retail and schools, as well as the latest on zero carbon policy. Speakers include Paul King, Chief Executive of the UK Green Building Council and chairman of the Zero Carbon Hub, and architect Bill Dunster. Charlie Luxton, presenter and broadcaster, will be chairing the event.
The conference is supported by the UK Green Building Council, the Zero Carbon Hub, the SW Regional Development Agency, SW Councils (formerly the SW Regional Assembly), the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and Future Foundations, the region’s sustainable construction partnership. It is organised by Ecos Trust and Devon Sustainable Building Initiative.
