Sustainability is a powerful force for positive change and one which is driving transformation, innovation and improvement across all aspects of society. And it wouldn’t work quite so well without the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart technology.
In this panel debate, hear from construction and infrastructure experts, passionate about delivering a smarter, safer and greener Britain through the way we design and build. You will hear about the modern methods of construction they have adopted and are using right now, plus what smart cities and smart technology mean for the built environment and how using lean construction is changing our perception of how we build.

Talking Digital - The future of asset information management and the truth about how it can solve all our problems
01 December 2021 | 1 pm - 2.15 pm (GMT)
Over the past 12 months, conversations centred around the National Digital Twin, Smart Buildings, Net Zero, Golden Thread, Building Safety Act compliance and most recently how to attracting workers back to the office have all served to shine a spotlight on how much we actually know about our built assets and estates. These conversations are prompting discussions on the digitalisation of estates to exploit the data and drive insights. This virtual panel discussion will provide some practical insights and approaches into how you should approach this and why it’s important to start taking action now.
This discussion facilitated by John Adams will explore these issues.

In October, the government will start to invest £2 billion into domestic retrofit in just six months – the first public retrofit investment and the start of a national retrofit project that will last thirty years. The appropriateness of the materials, products and technologies deployed will largely determine the success or failure of this bold initiative.
In this webinar, we examine what existing products and technologies get the thumbs up from leading retrofit architects. We also examine what pieces of the retrofit jigsaw are still needed.
