The Green Room is back! Your chance to catch up on the latest trends nationally and internationally on sustainable non-residential buildings. This year’s afternoon conference focuses on the imminent Nearly Zero Energy Building (NZEB) standard and on the role of corporate action in our transition to a low carbon built environment.
The new Part L Building Regulations – Conservation of Fuel and Energy for non-residential development comes into force on the 1st January 2019 for all non-residential buildings. If the main structure of your building is not completed on the 31st December 2019 then it needs to be built to the new standards. Is your organisation ready?
Recent policy developments such as the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and investors’ calls for more environmental transparency are driving the demand for green buildings. We look at how long-term sustainability view is now a top priority for investors.
Take some time out from the office, network with peers and be inspired!
