This year sees an unprecedented breadth and depth of presentations. Phil Draper, of Broadgate Estates, will examine how short paybacks and carbon savings can be delivered in a real city centre building with integrated solutions, including heat pumps. Meanwhile Hoare Leas Doug Baldock will consider how modelling used in large-scale urban energy optimisation can be applied to smaller-scale, local applications. Sergio Fox, from Denmark, will examine whether building systems designs are truly evolving or in reality swapping one overly complex solution for another. He will refer to case studies of projects covering 30 years, and evaluate a current HQ building refurbishment. A study by Conn Yuen, of CO2nnsulting, Hong Kong, will probe the misconception that insulation is always desirable. There will also be technical sessions from CIBSEs schools and natural ventilation groups, as well as the International Building Performance Simulation Association.
