For many years now, the main aim of government energy policy in the built environment has been to drive down demand; a simple strategy for cutting carbon that continues to make good sense, although with increasing wind and solar power supplying the UK, things are no longer quite so straightforward.

Concrete can deliver low energy through embodied CO2, operational and embodied CO2 for housing and structural frames.
The Concrete Centre
An evening seminar to help specifiers optimise the in-use and embodied performance of concrete and masonry. Guidance will be provided on key changes to Part L of the Building Regulations and the full introduction of thermal mass in to SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure for dwellings).

The inherent thermal mass properties of concrete have been used at One Pancras Square to create a building that is so low-energy that it was awarded the BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ rating.
