Part Z. In the London Plan, she explained how it requires all major developments to be net zero- carbon. “This means reducing greenhouse gas emissions in operation and minimising both annual and peak energy demand in accordance with the energy hierarchy. Major development proposals should demonstrate through an energy strategy how they will reduce the potential for internal overheating and reliance on air conditioning systems in accordance with the cooling hierarchy.” The afternoon offered breakout sessions where Mitsubishi Electric conducted product overviews, presenting its Ecodan, HVRF, and e-Series chillers. These sessions highlighted the features and benefits of these products in terms of energy efficiency and sustainable performance. Delegates had the opportunity to explore practical solutions that they could potentially implement in projects. Meteorologist Laura Tobin (above right) delivered the keynote address, urging the audience to take immediate action on climate change. She explained the scientific evidence that proves human action is causing global warming, and pointed out that the last nine years have been the warmest on record. She went on to talk about how CO2

at their warmest, while sea levels are rising and incidents of wild fires increasing. Tobin’s call for action emphasised the importance of sustainability and the consequences of inaction on the planet’s future.
Her expertise and insights framed everything that had been discussed throughout the day against the urgency for everyone to actively engage in sustainable practices.
The conference concluded with a dynamic Q&A session, allowing delegates to interact with the speakers and address their specific queries and concerns. This interactive session facilitated knowledge exchange and further clarified the steps needed to embrace sustainability effectively. Broadly, people were optimistic about the opportunities that net zero targets bring for their
Pacair’s Sustainability Conference offered a diverse range of topics, covering operational carbon emissions, product solutions, stranded assets prevention, and sustainability regulations. Furthermore, the breakout sessions by Mitsubishi Electric demonstrated practical solutions that consultants could adopt to promote sustainable practices. Overall, the conference successfully inspired and equipped the audience to be proactive in integrating sustainability into their work, contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future. It reinforced the message that sustainability is not just a responsibility but also a tremendous opportunity for industry to lead by example and be part of the solution to climate change.
Ryman concluded: “This has been a very successful event, and we’ve had great feedback, with good numbers, great engagement from the audience and a wide range of speakers. The customers also valued the opportunity to have direct conversations with people from Mitsubishi Electric and their products.”
