More than 2,000 visitors attended the ninth annual Build2Perform Live event, hosted by CIBSE at ExCeL London.
The two-day event featured over 70 hours of CPD-accredited content and showcased more than 100 exhibitors.
Highlights included discussions on embodied carbon and the practical application of TM65 to reduce carbon emissions in building projects, as well as the UK’s Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard, which invited stakeholders to shape its future through ongoing feedback.
Attendees gained insights into NABERS UK’s role in advancing decarbonisation efforts and sustainable energy practices across the built environment, while sessions on domestic heat pumps and climate resilience provided guidance on adopting technologies and strategies essential for adapting to climate change.
Day two introduced the latest TM59 methodology to mitigate overheating, supported by CIBSE’s new Weather Files, alongside discussions on indoor health and wellbeing in building design. The Domestic Retrofit Towards Net Zero session highlighted progress in retrofitting for energy efficiency, while an Equity, Diversity & Inclusivity (EDI) session explored how embracing EDI can reshape the industry and promote a more inclusive built environment.
Simon Parker, Managing Director of CIBSE Services, said: "We’ve seen incredible energy and commitment to tackling some of our greatest challenges, from reducing carbon emissions and improving indoor health to ensuring inclusivity and resilience in the built environment. I’m immensely proud of CIBSE’s role in supporting these conversations and helping equip our community with the practical tools and insights needed to drive meaningful progress."
