Futurebuild Show Preview
01–03 MARCH, EXCEL, LONDON Futurebuild returns for 2022
Futurebuild, the event that’s championed a sustainable built environment for the past 16 years, has opened registrations. Taking place from March 1 to 3, 2022, the event will connect specifiers, decision makers and disruptors with major brands and start-ups from across the built environment.
I
n the aſtermath of the COP26 conference, Futurebuild — previously Ecobuild — will be perfectly timed to focus on the key issues and actions needed to work towards net zero. Te focus is no longer about ambition —
it is about delivery. Attracting 20,000+ senior professionals from right across the built environment, Futurebuild is the perfect opportunity for the industry to meet and collaborate together, to achieve the transformational change needed if the built environment is going to reach net zero by 2050. As the home of innovation, Futurebuild 2022 will be organised into six
sections — Buildings, Offsite, Interiors, Resourceful Materials, Energy and Critical Infrastructure.
CONFERENCE PROGRAMME Sponsored by Construction Innovation Hub, Futurebuild 2022’s conference programme will explore some of the key questions and issues around closing the gap between net zero ambition and delivery. It invites panels of industry experts to share their experiences on a range of topics, from embodied carbon to investing in education, skills and diversity. Te second day of the conference programme will focus on leading
transformative change and will include a panel discussion about how the built environment can lead by example to raise aspirations. If the industry is going to achieve net zero, it must nurture a talent for excellence. Bea Natzler, senior analyst business and buildings, climate change committee, chairs a panel as they discuss how the built environment can engage more widely and move from following orders to being more influential and ensure that delivering net zero is a fundamental part of all contracts with clients.
SPOTLIGHTS Te event will also feature six spotlights, Digital Impact sponsored by Glider, Whole House Retrofit in partnership with the Retrofit Academy, Circular Materials in partnership with 540 World, District Energy in partnership with UKDEA, Future Installer in partnership with MCS and Intelligent Buildings in partnership with KNX. Tese spotlights will include a mixture of presentations, discussions and practical demonstrations that will cover the fundamental issues
facing the built environment. Retrofit is the big problem facing our existing building stock. Around 80 per
cent of the buildings that will exist in 2050 have already been built, so to reach net zero the built environment must focus on making existing buildings zero carbon as well as resilient for the future. Te Whole House Retrofit spotlight will tackle the grand challenges of retrofit and promote best practice, through curated seminars, clinics and an exhibition showcase.
COLLABORATION IS KEY Te curated event will showcase over 250 leading brands, the companies who are developing the most innovative technologies, products and solutions. Visitors can participate in the innovation trail, which highlights the event’s innovation partners. Te winners of the Big Innovation Pitch, a competition that celebrates new approaches to the biggest challenges facing the industry, will also be announced during the event. By bringing together individuals and companies from all areas of the built
environment, we can accelerate innovation and provide everyone with access to the products and processes needed to deliver change. “Now it is more important than ever to meet in person and do business face
to face because our exhibitors and attendees are all working towards a common goal — achieving net zero” explains Martin Hurn, event director at Futurebuild. “To ensure we can deliver a sustainable future we’ve curated an event that cultivates cross-sector collaboration, addresses key industry issues and inspires transformational change.”
