The Second Low Carbon Building Symposium ONLINE
The 2nd Low Carbon Buildings Symposium held in February 2009 focused on the delivery of zero carbon school buildings. More than 100 professionals attended this event and concluded that plans to make schools in England zero carbon will be a major challenge. Lack of understanding and skills at all levels, lack of knowledge, increasing complexity of school life, rising expectations, and lack of funding were highlighted as major barriers to the delivery of zero carbon schools. This symposium was organised jointly by IBPSA-England, CIBSE School Design Group, and the Bartlett @ UCL.
The presentation and discussion forum held during the symposium were recorded, and 9 multimedia webcasts have been created and hosted on the Low Carbon Buildings Directory (http://www.lowcarbonbuildingsdirectory.org/) – see below – which also features news and information on low carbon buildings and sustainable building design.
