environment and promoting Green Infrastruc- ture 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 Lon- don 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 Lon- don’ initiative. Broadcaster Will Gompertz will also interview Niall McLaughlin of Niall McLaughlin Architects, a 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. Reiterating the importance of effective building operation, speakers will discuss managing down energy consumption and using BIM for facilities management.
Redefining sustainability
Although more than two thirds of professionals in the built environment identify sustainability
as the industry topic of greatest interest to them, the actual meaning of the term is constantly developing. Ecobuild’s ‘Redefining Sustainabil- ity’ campaign has been developed to drive discussions about and ultimately create a univer- sally accepted understanding of sustainability that is appealing, engaging and most importantly, accessible to all.
Ecobuild has announced key collaborations
with Lead Partner UK Green Building Council (UK-GBC), World GBC, RIBA, BRE, the Con- struction Products Association, the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), CIAT and the CIBSE. Additionally, pavilions will be showcased from associations including the Builders Merchants Federation, Passivhaus Trust, NFRC, Concrete Pavilion, TRADA and the STA. With such a wide variety of exhibitors and
partners, this year’s show will provide the indus- try with the perfect platform to collaborate and address the key issues of regeneration and its role in shaping sustainability.
