How are we going to deliver net zero housing?
During this free webinar, our speakers will be discussing:
- How do we address the performance gap? How do we build as designed?
- Is the target of 75-80% less carbon emissions from new homes when compared to current regulations achievable?
- What are the key areas we should be looking at to help improve the fabric of buildings?
- How can manufacturers support the drive for new zero? What role does product innovation play?

Does offsite construction offer a credible solution to addressing the need for more housing, improved quality and better value?
This webinar will discuss:
- How critical is it that as an industry we take on board the benefits of offsite and challenge the way we design and build?
- How are organisations such as the AIMCH – Advanced Industrialised Methods for the Construction of Homes – helping to accelerate adoption?
- Where does offsite sit when we look at the perfect storm of increased regulations and legislation, skills and materials scarcity and a closer scrutiny on quality, competence and performance?
- Should we accept that more offsite assembly of selected components and systems, rather than whole house, is a route to adoption and a best of both worlds approach?
- Is adoption of offsite and MMC at a level we expect it to be?
