Over two days
UKIEG Conference
Date:    Time: All day   Location: We’re delighted that our abstract on Reducing Exposure to VOCs with Sustainable Building Products has been accepted for the conference. The conference will cover the role of residential and learning environments on occupant health and wellbeing throughout the life course, especially when considering for example vulnerable populations such as children and older people. Topics include: Role of residential and educational environments on occupant health and wellbeing Thermal comfort and overheating Impact

Innovating with Low Impact Materials
Date:    Time: 13:30 - 17:00   Location: Summary The use of bio-based and low impact materials provides an opportunity to reduce the amount of energy consumed during manufacture and transport, whilst potentially providing a number of significant performance benefits during operation, such as thermal performance, moisture control and good indoor air quality. Embodied carbon makes up the largest proportion of the carbon emissions of a building through its lifetime – between 30% – 70% of a building’s

13:30 - 17:00
Embodied Carbon as an Allowable Solution
Date:    Time: 18:00 - 19:30   Location: Guy Battle, Director, Sustainable Business Partnership, and co-ordinator for the Embodied Carbon Industry Task Force, has teamed up with Simon Sturgis, Sturgis Carbon Profiling, to model a pair of new-build homes to establish benchmarks for embodied carbon and allowable solutions. The model will then allow products to be substituted to understand carbon abatement opportunities and costs and to start defining approved methods. This exercise aims to prove the model, prove
