About this event
In this Sustainable Places: Partnerships for Green Design event we will explore how architecture and construction companies have used innovative Knowledge Transfer Partnerships to develop new models for sustainable building design and net zero carbon targets.
Join our panel of experts from The Bartlett, along with a Knowledge Transfer Partner from AHMM, for an interactive discussion on key sustainability issues facing practitioners in the built environment, and how partnerships like this can make an impact for positive change.
We will discuss successful Knowledge Transfer Partnerships in green construction, including a net zero carbon guide and tool created for architects, and design solutions, management strategies and adaptation plans to explore and test net-zero carbon targets.
We will explore the lessons learned from these partnerships, and how they can be applied in the future to cut carbon emissions and make our buildings and cities more sustainable.
Recording and accessibility
The session will be recorded, and the recording and written transcript will be shared with attendees after the event.
