The impacts of climate change are being felt now more than ever, with average global temperature records being broken around the world.      

A temperature rise of 2C would lead to 37% of the global population being exposed to severe weather conditions. Buildings are responsible for approximately 40% of GHG emissions globally and the role of buildings in addressing climate change cannot be understated.

In this three hour interactive online workshop, we’ll cover the essential knowledge you need for defining, designing, and delivering net zero carbon buildings. You’ll be with a cohort of like-minded professionals who are all looking to build their knowledge and understanding of achieving Net Zero Carbon.

Marc Sherratt, a Professional Architect and Net Zero Accredited Professional, will present Part 3 of GBCSA Academy’s Net Zero Insight series. The workshop will equip individuals with the foundations for developing and delivering a successful Net Zero Carbon strategy.
