Energy required to heat, power and operate commercial buildings accounts for nearly a quarter of the built environment’s carbon footprint in the UK. Significant improvements in energy efficiency must be accelerated across all sectors. Given the scale of energy efficiency improvements required to secure a net zero built environment, and the financial value it can unlock for asset owners, UKGBC and partners are working on a new project to deepen understanding of the carbon and cost effectiveness of different retrofit measures for commercial assets.

In addition to this, UKGBC’s Solutions & Innovation workstream seeks to identify and share solutions to common sustainability challenges in the built environment. This has led to the formation of UKGBC’s Solutions Library and our ever-expanding community of innovative start-up members.

This cross-team webinar will showcase some of the innovative tools available to support built environment practitioners in strategically retrofitting their commercial buildings stock. A list of these tools and speakers will be released nearer the time.
