‘Redefining sustainability’
More than two thirds of professionals in the built environment identify sustainability as the industry topic of greatest interest, but the term’s actual meaning is constantly developing. Ecobuild’s Redefining Sustainability campaign has been developed to drive discussions about, and ulti- mately create, a universally accepted under- standing of sustainability that’s “appealing, engaging and accessible to all.” Ecobuild has announced key collaborations
Day one of the Ecobuild Conference will
focus on future-proofing building and construction. Key topics will include large scale domestic refurbishment, carbon reduction in the built environment and promoting ‘green infrastructure’ through planning, while Ecobuild’s Big Innovation Pitch reaches its climax with finalists presenting solutions to M&S and a panel of industry judges. The second day will see industry leaders
debate solutions to the housing crisis, featuring a panel including Jules Pipe, deputy mayor for planning, regeneration and skills, Greater London Authority and Ben Derbyshire, HTA Design partner and RIBA president-elect, among other sector experts. Topics covered will range from improving energy efficiency in non-domes- tic buildings to meeting the new zero carbon
homes standard as part of the ‘Low Carbon London’ initiative. Broadcaster Will Gompertz will also interview Niall McLaughlin of Niall McLaughlin Architects, recent RIBA Charles Jencks winner. Among other things, day three topics include
the possible legislation binding developers in an agreement to consider the wellbeing of future generations when planning.
