Join us at our virtual event, ‘Achieving our Net Zero Carbon Buildings Ambition’ where Arup, will lead a discussion about the steps we need to take to ensure the UK’s building stock becomes a source of net zero pride. The session will include an overview of Arup’s latest net zero report: Net Zero Carbon Buildings: Three Steps to Take Now.
Organisations across the property sector are committing to change, announcing net zero targets and publishing their strategies. The next step is implementation – decarbonising existing buildings and ensuring new-build developments are net zero from the outset. Achieving net zero won’t be easy, but it’s an essential journey.
The session will include audience Q&A and contributions from experts in their field including:
- Stephen Hill, Arup, co-author of the Three Steps to Take Now report
- Paul Phasey, Director and Passivhaus Designer at Architecture PLB
- Ann Cousins, Arup, Resilience and Climate Change Consultant with experience of supporting cities to develop strategies to achieve net zero ambitions
More about the Net Zero Carbon Buildings: Three steps to Take Now report
The global property sector is increasingly vocal in its support of climate action, with leading firms publishing net zero strategies and high-level targets. The next stage in the journey is the one that counts – implementing net zero carbon for buildings, both new and existing. Achieving net zero carbon will require us to transform how we design, build and operate buildings of all types and scales.
This publication outlines three steps the property sector needs to take now to ensure it will be able to deliver buildings that contribute to a net zero carbon world.
The report argues for:
- a clearer definition of net zero buildings
- incentives to support asset owners and developers putting in the hard work to get their portfolios on a net zero trajectory
- a whole lifecycle carbon approach to achieving net zero carbon buildings that ensures all sources of emissions, including embodied carbon, are addressed
Written by Arup specialists in sustainable building design and performance, we hope our thoughts support you on your journey to net zero.
Date: 25th February
Time: 10am – 11am
Venue: Virtual
Tickets: Champion tickets are free of charge, non Champion tickets are £20 plus VAT.
