About the Day

Our agenda will go beyond business as usual for both new and existing homes. We'll need to think outside the box to meet our net zero targets, but also to deliver wider health, climate resilience and societal benefits for people and places.

Sessions will be a mix of keynote talks, research updates, panel discussions and interactive Q&A.
