…but, are our current strategies going cold?

The decarbonisation of the UK’s electricity networks will have significant implications for how we deliver low carbon heat in the future.

We expect that these changes will influence new policy from the Greater London Authority, due to be launched in the second half of 2017, as well as in wider UK guidance and calculation methodologies in the future. The way that London responds to delivering low carbon development is likely to change in the future. This includes approaches to reducing carbon emissions but also addressing, overheating risks, air quality concerns and commercial viability.

Come along to our event which will support developers, landowners, and policy makers in understanding the changing context and help position their projects for success.

Hear a summary of the issues facing the built environment with regards to the delivery of heat. We will present some of the solutions we are proposing for two high profile projects: the refurbishment of the Houses of Parliament, one of the most famous buildings in the world; and the regeneration of Old Oak Common, one of the largest development projects in Europe.

Speakers include:

  • Peter O’Dowd, Programme Management Advisor & Infrastructure Lead, Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation
  • Andrew Piper, Design Director, Palace of Westminster Restoration and Renewal Programme
  • Miles Attenborough, Director, AECOM
  • Channa Karunaratne, Associate Director, AECOM
  • Matthew Turner, Director, AECOM
