Have you wondered what environmental sustainability means and how to work for it in practice? How to bring the principles to the design of interiors and architectural refurbishments you are working on? What aspects of your design are impacted or must be to respond to the Net Zero Carbon agenda? 

This lunchtime session will start exploring the issues found in environmental sustainability, from low carbon to circular design. 

The session will include parts for open discussion in a Q&A format. It will be hosted as a Zoom meeting to allow for discussion and will not be recorded. 

If there are any particular questions you would like to highlight prior to the session, please email them to us at [email protected].
