Sustainable Development In The Construction Industry

Introduction

The concept of sustainability has risen to the fore amidst increasing international and public awareness that mankind cannot continue to casually expend the world’s resources at today’s rates. The UK government has determined it will take a lead in adopting a more sustainable approach to development and has set a number of ambitious targets to meet this aim.
Chaired by Simon Tolson of Fenwick Elliott, this highly topical new conference will take an in depth look at the relevant legislation, including the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and Part L of the Building Regulations, and provide you with a deeper understanding of the more challenging procedural issues involved. It will also look at current best practice within the construction industry and offer you strategic advice to put to use in your daily practice. Read more >>
