The Future of Housing
There are almost 25 million houses in the UK. They account for about 15% of the nation’s carbon emissions.
Alongside transport, energy, and business, the carbon footprint of housing is one of the hard nuts we need to crack if we’re going to achieve net-zero carbon emissions. We need disruptive thinking and decisive action.
Join us to hear what the future could hold from housing professionals, business innovators, and academics. We’ll explore the technology, regulations, and behaviour change needed to make housing carbon neutral.
