Amanda Stanley speaks about water shortages at the RCN breakfast

How sustainable is our residential estate?

Venue: RICS, Great George Street, London, SW1P 3AD

Time; 7.45 – 10.15am

Last February the UK Committee on Climate Change warned that “UK homes are not fit for the future” and made a series of recommendations including no new homes to be connected to the gas grid from 2025. “The way new homes are built and existing homes retrofitted often falls short of design standards,” says the report. So how do we meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Come and join us as our expert panel discuss:

• How do we go about defining what is sustainable and what is the best way to measure this?

• What is the scale of the challenge?

• How important is the drive for developing a roadmap to zero carbon as opposed to water management?

• Is the drive for off-site and modular design the way forward?

• Has Grenfell made us rethink how we can safely maintain existing housing stock?
