Session synopsis:

Sustainability: How will materiality help us hit net zero?

In this session, we will explore the critical role of sustainable practice in the built environment, with a particular focus on materiality and its vast potential for support. With the implementation of the net zero carbon building standards (NZCBS) firmly in mind, we explore how the inherent properties of materials such as graphene, will aid in minimising carbon emissions in our sector.

We will welcome two fabulous panellists to the stage:

John Whittaker, Engineering Director at Manchester University's Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre

David Leversha, Director and Net Zero Carbon Lead for Property & Buildings, WSP
