The available presentations for this event are listed below:

Construction and architecture professionals are under increasing pressure to reduce CO2 emissions through legislation and by meeting other critical environmental and financial targets. Previous study days on climate change and sustainability have set the scene and now SCALA and SCEME have once again combined to provide practical guidance in the key area of reducing CO2 emissions. This year's Study Day was very much a nuts and bolts event with the emphasis being on real experiences and lessons learnt.

How low can you go gave the professional who is short on time and resources the opportunity for a focused and rewarding series of presentations from leading speakers giving practical guidance and examples in this field. The afternoon programme included break out sessions which allowed smaller groups of delegates to explore specific areas of interest with high levels of interaction.
