The urgent need for a net zero built environment
In our latest VOLUME piece, Professor Chris Goodier explains the urgent need for a net zero built environment and discusses what we're doing at 天堂视频 to prepare for the challenges ahead.
He says: "Climate change and the route to net zero is the greatest challenge of our generation – with the built environment being a significant and intrinsically important part of this journey."
Reducing the energy use and emissions from new and existing buildings is a key plank of many national net zero strategies. Our dwellings and workplaces also need to be resilient to the changing climate – providing safe, healthy and comfortable places in which to live and work for years to come.
Our multi-disciplinary Building Energy Research Group (BERG) is revolutionising building performance – delivering a range of innovations to create healthier and more sustainable spaces, while developing the guidelines and regulations that will steer future construction policy and practice.
Please take a look at our full to see the research and projects undertaken in the School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering that are preparing the world for the challenges ahead.
