Title: Redefining HVAC systems for Retrofit Applications: Meeting carbon targets and enhancing building performance”. Synopsis: As the push for low-carbon buildings intensifies, the design and operation of HVAC systems face greater scrutiny for their carbon impact. Building services play a crucial role in a building’s whole-life carbon footprint, with benchmarks like those from the Greater London Authority attributing 21% of this impact to building services. This presentation explores the evolving landscape of HVAC systems, focusing on the challenges and opportunities presented by new legislation and carbon reduction targets. It will delve into the potential of both VRF and heat pump technologies to meet these demands, optimise energy performance, and enhance indoor environments for the future.

Title: Measure Twice, retrofit (in confidence) once Synopsis: Successful retrofit depends on more than assumptions, it requires measured evidence both pre and post works. Without this intelligence, it is impossible to make evidence- based decisions or to select interventions
that genuinely deliver on design intentions. This presentation explores rapid building performance evaluation techniques that reveal baseline performance, giving clarity on where energy is used and how occupants influence outcomes. Moving beyond EPC assumptions and energy bills alone, these methods provide insights into comfort, system efficiency, fabric performance and real-world gains. Robust measurement closes the performance gap between design and reality while providing clarity and transparency to consumers.

Title: Overheating and current indoor air quality issues within residential sector: Synopsis: The presentation will focus on the current challenges associated with maintaining healthy indoor air quality in residential buildings, particularly in the context of increased airtightness and reduced ventilation rates driven by energy efficiency targets. It will explore evidence-based strategies that can help mitigate these issues, including both passive and mechanical solutions, and discuss their applicability in new builds and retrofit projects. It will also highlight importance of interdisciplinary collaboration among architects, engineers, and consultants from the early design stages.
