FuturebuildThe ExCeL London will host a new event, ‘The Event that Promotes a More Sustainable Built Environment’, which will take place from 1-3 March 2022. The net zero pioneer has organized an event that will connect specifiers and decision makers with over 300 leading brands, who are developing technologies and other services to transform the built world.
The built environment was given 12 month to transform climate pledges into concrete action to limit global warming to 1.5C at COP26. Futurebuild, previously Ecobuild will be perfectly timed in order to focus on the most important issues and take action towards net zero.
The emphasis is now on delivery, not ambition. Futurebuild is the only event to bring together more than 20,000 senior professionals in the built environment industry. Futurebuild provides the perfect platform for the industry to collaborate and meet to achieve net zero targets.
Futurebuild 2022 will consist of six sections: Interiors, Offsites, Buildings, Interiors and Resourceful Materials. Energy and Critical Infrastructure.
The Offsite sectionExplore Offsite and Xerox offer visitors the opportunity to meet professionals in offsite construction who are making important changes in this fast-growing industry. This is where attendees will find the most innovative offsite materials, products, and processes.
The Offsite seminar sessions focus on Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), and how technology can be used to construct a more sustainable built ecosystem. The AIMCH, a leading partner in the project to develop industrialised offsite solutions for the construction of homes, will present key results from its three-year-old project and explain what this means for the future of the housebuilding sector.
The Offsite section includes sessions from the Structural Timber Association on safe timber use in construction, innovation in precast concrete curated MPA British Precast, and how volumetric manufactured houses can deliver a net zero future in construction, curated MBPA.
Conference program
Futurebuild 2022s, Construction Innovation Hub sponsors this event Conference programme A panel of industry experts will share their knowledge on a range topics and help to address some of the key questions and issues surrounding closing the gap between delivery and net zero ambition.
The first session of day one focuses upon action plans beyond COP26: our action plan. We need to develop long-term resilience due to the physical effects of climate change that we are already seeing. We must also reduce emissions, restore biodiversity and natural resources, ensure sustainable food supply, and recognize the impact of climate change on human health. This session will discuss the steps that the UK’s construction industry will take to reduce emissions, restore biodiversity, and ensure a sustainable food supply.
We have been through a difficult time since Futurebuild 2020. Sue James, Edge member, said that the impact of the pandemic on COP26 and Futurebuild 2020 have been explored in a variety of webinars.
We have now clearly identified what we need to do, and we must now concentrate on how we can do it at scale. There are many opportunities for change. The question is now: Do we have the courage and will to take action?
The 2022 conference programme will cover the topics of raising aspirations and leading by example to make positive change happen, resolving energy demand and supply, and living in a healthy relationship with nature. The programme will close with a conversation between Peter Clegg (architect), Hanif Kara (engineer) and Hattie Hartman (sustainability editor for the Architects Journal) about the future building design in a climate and ecologically fragile world.
Spotlights
The event will also feature six spotlights, with a mix of presentations and discussions as well as practical demonstrations. These spotlights will address fundamental issues facing our built environment. Digital Impact, sponsored and sponsored by Glider, Whole House Retrofit, Circular Materials, District Energy, and UKDEA. Future Installer is also available in partnership through MCS. Intelligent Buildings is available in partnership via KNX.
TheDigital Impact spotlightIt will feature emerging and disruptive technologies as well digital pioneers using technology to create a more sustainable built ecosystem.
The Digital Impact speaker programme will address three key themes, collaboration, visualization and innovation. John Adams, Glider head of product, will present the first day. He will examine why construction in the digital age is important. He will also discuss the positive effects of the pandemic and how it has forced us to embrace the digital future.
Highlights of the programme include the fusion between digital and sustainability to join in the fight against climate change; how healthy buildings create healthy environments; immersive technology twins and unmissable developments regarding the intelligence driving smart cities.
The Intelligent Buildings spotlight will provide information to the industry about smart products and technologies that make buildings more intelligent, while reducing environmental impact and cost end users. The spotlight will feature a variety of solutions including home automation, energy management, and security access control technology.
Martin Hurn (event director at Futurebuild) stated that attendees and exhibitors all work towards a common goal: net zero.
Industry needs to meet face-to-face to do business. We have created an event that fosters cross-sector collaboration, addresses key industry problems, and inspires change to ensure a sustainable future.
