Specifier at Net Zero Live 2023

The Net Zero Live specification will explore how designers should deal with net zero in the commercial sector. Net Zero Live is back with a day-long program exploring how the sector can best prepare for decarbonisation to meet the government's 2050 emissions target. Chaired by Editor-in-Chief Chloe McCulloch and Special Projects Editor Jordan Marshall, two morning sessions will look at determining the approach to retrofit and renovation, as well as the Building Awards Net Zero Award finalists sharing their next steps. Sponsored by Kingspan Data and Flooring, the afternoon session will focus on the net zero specification in the commercial sector. Achieving net zero carbon emissions is an important part of environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies in the commercial real estate sector, and assessing the carbon emissions associated with the entire life cycle of a building is vital. However, improving the energy efficiency of workplaces is difficult. To move the office sector from ambition to action, industry change is urgently needed. Pjoin our panel of experts from Lendlease, Kingspan Data and Flooring and the British Council for Offices who explore the areas to consider when designing a clean commercial workspace. After considering all aspects of building design, panelists will discuss design requirements as well as product and material specifications that can assist in implementation.
