Net zero and sustainability

Decarbonisation of the built environment is a crucial component of hitting UK net zero emissions targets. The direct and indirect emissions from heating and energy, as well as embodied carbon from construction, can be significantly reduced through effective use of data and connectivity.

Catch up on this Briefing for your opportunity to:

  • Learn more about smart infrastructure initiatives to support emissions reduction in UK cities
  • Discuss how cross-sector cooperation can help overcome barriers to implementation, such as grid capacity, data sharing and tech interoperability
