Zero Carbon new non-domestic buildings – rhetoric or reality?Two years since the UK-GBC recommended an ambitious ten-year timetable, the Government has recently been consulting on the trajectory for achieving zero carbon non-domestic buildings: both commercial and public. What are the likely milestones, are the current ‘aspirational’ targets achievable, and at what cost? Speakers |

Joining up infrastructureFrustration abounds at the difficulty of integrating planning from a building - to district - to regional and national level. We’re told that many of the low and zero carbon solutions for the built environment will come at a district scale – connecting energy, water, waste - ICT even. Is this the right approach to take? Who is going to deliver all this? And can local authorities cope? Speakers Hergen Haye, Head of Distributed Energy and Heat Policy, Department of Energy and Climate Change |

Green expectations: can the property sector really be changed?Does anything look like breaking the ‘circle of blame’ which has paralysed this sector? The introduction of EPCs and DECs were supposed to help, but a year on, their implementation seems patchy at best. Perhaps the policing of the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) will prove to have more teeth? It will be implemented UK wide in April 2010, and amongst other things, it will pose particular challenges for landlords where they are responsible for paying the bill for energy used by their tenants. How can these policy initiatives be made to bring about change in the property sector? Speakers Max Crofts, President, RICS and Partner, King Sturge LLP |

Only connect: codes, standards and regulations reviewThere are a host of new policies, standards, and revisions to UK and European regulations underway, all affecting construction and the built environment. How and where do they connect? How can clients, designers and constructors understand the roadmap, the key milestones, the direction of travel, and assess the implications for them? What’s important and when? Speakers Nick Jones, Associate Director, Inbuilt Ltd |
