When carbon becomes currency: Market forces reshaping delivery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the industry accelerates towards low‑carbon delivery, the tension between cost and carbon is reshaping project value.This panel brings together cost consultants, contractors, manufacturers and circularity specialists to examine how market forces, funding and client priorities influence decision‑making. Alongside take‑back and reuse schemes, the manufacturer perspective highlights how high‑quality aluminium recycling is reshaping carbon baselines and challenging traditional cost assumptions.Th
Retrofitting in a shallow market: Creating value through sustainability (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In shallow and illiquid markets, developers face a distinct challenge: how to future-proof existing assets while protecting returns and maintaining flexibility in the business plan. This session explores how targeted retrofitting strategies can unlock value in standing buildings, aligning environmental performance with commercial outcomes rather than treating sustainability as a cost centre. Focusing on practical interventions, the discussion will examine how energy efficiency upgrades, fabric i
Solar Power: Delivering a rooftop revolution (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Solar power is becoming a central pillar of the UK’s decarbonisation and clean energy strategies, with Government committed to trebling solar capacity by 2030. For commercial real estate investors and developers, this creates a significant opportunity. Falling costs, improving performance and rapid innovation from high-efficiency panels to on-site storage and smart energy management are changing how solar can be integrated into buildings and portfolios. This session explores how solar power can
Built to Last or Built for Landfill? The Commercial Case for Design for Disassembly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why does the hospitality industry accept that perfectly good interiors will be ripped out and burnt or buried? It is a catastrophic failure to plan for a completely predictable outcome, and it costs developers, operators and the planet. In this session, James Goldsmith of Sibley Grove joins Nick Harrison of Design Foundry and Gerry Byrne of Castlebrook to challenge the status quo. The panel will argue that Design for Disassembly (D4D) and designing for longevity are not idealistic ambitions but
From innovation to implementation: Accelerating the use of low-carbon and circular concretes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The range of low-carbon and circular concrete solutions is growing rapidly from novel binders and recycled aggregates to new design and specification approaches. Yet adoption on live projects often lags behind technical feasibility. This session explores how developers, designers and contractors can bridge that gap and accelerate real-world delivery. Drawing on practical project experience, we will explore how guidance, carbon targets, collaborative risk-sharing and a strategic approach to innov
