Nearly 25% of the UK built environment’s carbon footprint comes from commercial buildings. If we are to meet our net-zero targets and increase climate resilience, then it is crucial we decarbonise the UK’s real estate. That is why we remain committed to sourcing alternative solutions to make the built environment more planet friendly.
We are thrilled to be able to sponsor and showcase our sustainable products at the Retrofit 24 exhibition, currently taking place at The Building Centre. Retrofitting is a vital part of the conversation when it comes to building a more sustainable future, as around 80% of the buildings that will be here in 2050 already exist.
The Retrofit 24 exhibition demonstrates the products and methods that are available to us in improving the energy efficiency of buildings. The exhibits and talks explore a number of industry topics such as why collaboration is vital, the role of data and the practicalities of retrofitting historic buildings. It has been curated by the Building Centre, whose mission is ‘to inspire, connection and empower people to improve the quality of our built environment.’
Our Steel Frame System has been used as a key part of the structure within the exhibition, alongside our acoustic ceiling range which is also featured. The range offers retrofit projects impressive acoustic performance and design flexibility, as well as a more sustainable option due to its recyclability and extended life compared to other material choices.
The free exhibition is running until 31st August 2024 at Building Centre, London.
