Innovation: How to Use Technology to Transform Sustainable Design
The most critical sustainability decisions are made at concept stage, yet the industry still relies on analysis and compliance checks that arrive too late to meaningfully shape those early decisions. This session explores the shift from compliance-led design to real-time design data intelligence, showing how architects and engineers can make better-informed decisions as they design, rather than waiting days or weeks for reports.
Doug will also look at AI and digital tools as enablers of better decision-making rather than the innovation itself, grounded in practical examples. He'll close by examining what genuine innovation in construction actually looks like; Far more than new technology, it should measurably improve decisions, outcomes, collaboration and sustainability to deliver better buildings. A look ahead to the future of truly sustainable design.
