A major 1 day conference on low & zero carbon buildings

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. The 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, providing 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 (UKGBC) and Chairman of the Zero Carbon Hub, and architect Bill Dunster. The conference is supported by the UKGBC, the SW Regional Development Agency (SWRDA) and SW Councils (formerly the SW Regional Assembly).
