SPACES Study Day 2022: Net Zero Carbon - Building Resilience
Net Zero Carbon is the biggest challenge we’ve ever faced in our working lives, and if ever there was a time to pull together, share knowledge and experiences through professional networking and training, it must be now. Collaboration is essential to save our planet for future generations.
But the task is challenging, set in an environment of escalating costs, a public sector finance model that focuses on capital, rather than whole life costs, and we have a skills and materials shortage. So it’s not surprising that so many of us feel overwhelmed.
We have an inspirational set of speakers who are going to share their experiences and knowledge with you, through presentations, workshops as well as a ‘Roundtable’ discussion, so we can all move forward with more confidence, more ideas and greater certainty of delivering successful NZC outcomes. We are not going to get everything right first time, so we need to learn from each other and keep refining our approaches and be armed with data and facts to reduce risk and deliver success. This will be followed by a programme of webinars, which you can also watch on our YouTube channel.
Due to the train strikes, our Keynote by Lord Rupert Redesdale, the Founder of the Energy Managers Association (EMA), Carbon Management Association (CMA) and Low Energy Company (LEC) will be given as a podcast.
You can download the programme and the detailed programme below, which includes synopsises of the presentations and speaker biographies.
Any presentations or workshops that we are not running will be running during the summer and autumn - click to download:
