Globally, the global built environment is responsible for almost 40% of global energy-related carbon emissions and 50% of extracted materials. And, with rapid urbanisation and escalating climate change placing huge demands on our building infrastructure, it’s clear that we must move from ambition into action when it comes to achieving a net zero carbon, healthy, equitable and resilient built environment. 

This edie webinar, hosted in association with IES, convenedr a range of companies across the sector to showcase how net-zero can be delivered across the built environment and its value chain. 

The session was be based around three expert presentations which provide examples of best practice and key takeaways for other businesses to decarbonise their buildings.

    Hi Sarah
    This is a very crowded space..
    On retrofit you might want to link to the National Retrofit Hub https://nationalretrofithub.org.uk/

    and also acknowledge the industry produced National Retrofit Strategy
    https://www.constructionleadershipcouncil.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Construction-Leadership-Council-National-Retrofit-Strategy-Version-2.pdf

    The focus now must very much be on the practical realities (kit, cost, skills, consumer willingness etc) of how Net Zero retrofit can be delivered in a real world situation.
