How can real-world measurement of building energy performance help to improve decision making for new-build and retrofit housing projects? Will the adoption of Building Performance Evaluation (BPE) he ...

- Climate change means our Winters are getting wetter and our Summers drier, with shifts in weather patterns more volatile and increasingly difficult to predict. In May and June of last year, for example, the UK lurched from their driest to wettest ever recorded, within the space of just a few days. A growing population and our increasing demand for water means we are also consuming more water than can be sustained by natural supplies.

- The impact of flooding, drought and consequential pollution not just on human society but also on our environment and wildlife is already very evident to us. Our relationship with, and attitude towards, water must change.

- Using both historical and live data received from SDS SYMBiotIC™-enabled smart devices located at surface water management assets all around the UK, Neil will demonstrate how the application of innovative new technology can address and prevent the otherwise catastrophic impacts of extreme weather.

- Neil will show how smart technology is helping to achieve the twin goals of a safe, efficient drainage system and a secure and sustainable water supply, turning our problems with water to our advantage.

- With the media spotlight shining brightly this year on the frequency and extent to which untreated wastewater is being emptied into the UK’s rivers, streams and water bodies, and precious water resources are squandered, this is a topic that will resonate with many of the Show’s attendees.
 

Discussing the challenges to the biggest transition in heating the UK has seen.  

Emphasis at the moment is on Carbon and Scope 3 but with potential skills shortages, lack of new entrants, poor supply chain practices, growing emphasis on understanding exploitation practices, constr ...

The Future Homes Standard will change how new homes work for the buyer and create new challenges for builders and network operators. In this talk, we’ll look at the changes this will bring to how we h ...

"UK housing is facing challenging times with a “triple threat” of new planning regulations, zero carbon targets and pressure to build homes more quickly to tackle affordable housing waiting lists. Hea ...

Using the latest parametric and numeric design assessment technology to reduce embodied carbon in new-build construction by up to 40%. 

Xcavate Robotics offer a subterranean space creation service based on unique precision excavation and Caisson based construction technologies (patents pending) that unlock optimise land use, project t ...

It is an inescapable fact that regardless of what we construct, the majority of buildings we currently have will still be there in 2050. That means our future success in carbon management, as well as ...
