NEWS Mitsubishi Electric seminar focuses on net zero opportunities
More than 150 consultants attended a special seminar looking at the net zero challenge in commercial retrofi t, as Mitsubishi Electric hosted the latest in an 18-month-long campaign of seminars and events focusing ‘On the Road to Net Zero’.
Senior stakeholders from the UK Green Building Council, Property Developer Savills and the Sustainability Supply Chain School joined the manufacturer’s own experts in an event aimed specifi cally at consultants and specifi ers who wanted to fi nd out more about carbon reduction plans, with a particular focus on low carbon commercial retrofi t. Commercial product group
director, Philip Ord started the presentations with an overview of Mitsubishi Electric’s own journey to net zero, followed by UK Green Building Council special advisor, Anna Hollyman, who presented preliminary fi ndings on the key opportunities and challenges of retrofi t.
The UKGBC will be producing a special cost evaluation study into commercial retrofi t measures in the New Year to offer guidance and advice on how companies can best prepare for net zero. Chris Newman, zero carbon design manager for Mitsubishi Electric then spoke on the dangers of buildings becoming stranded assets unless they can improve their energy
performance. He also talked about bivalent systems and the benefi ts of adding a heat pump working alongside, or in parallel to a boiler, as the fi rst step in decarbonising buildings. After the thought-provoking presentations and a stimulating
Q&A session everyone was able to network on the roof terrace of the prestigious Institution of Engineering and Technology building with its stunning views of the London skyline and the River Thames.
