Navigating a Pathway to Net Zero

Essex Business School

Lucy Townsend of BDP joins us for another Sustainability Lecture, looking at what is needed for a net zero approach in the built environment.

When: Thursday 20th May 2021, 12.30 - 1:30pm
Where: Online via Zoom
CES Credits - 1.0 LU/ HSW for AIA Members

Description

A renewed approach to design, operation and construction is required to meet national carbon emission reduction targets and align with industry best practice. Utilising a unique position of sitting at the heart of a large multi-disciplinary urban design practice, Lucy will provide an insight into the key components of a net zero approach in the built environment, including the experiences and challenges faced. Lucy will also discuss the definitions of a net zero carbon building and whether the ‘net’ element gives designers and clients an offsetting get-out clause.
