The future of the built environment 2023 9 Mar 2023

This week studioNWA attended the Futurebuild event. The buzzing show offered interesting presentations on sustainable infrastructure, energy, buildings, materials, digital and interiors categories.

A particular highlight was the insightful discussion on the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standards, set to be launched in the summer to provide robust, consistent, science based carbon limits for various building typologies to help designers and stakeholders align with UK’s Net Zero goals. A one-stop, industry-led set of benchmarks and guidance that consolidates years of hard work by bbp, BRE, The Carbon Trust, CIBSE, The Institute of Structural Engineering, Earthquake Engineering and Construction IT, LETI, RIBA, RICS and UK Green Building Council.
