VIDEO PODCAST | Affordable housing and the roadmap to net zero
Join Onward Homes and Turner & Townsend for a candid look at the state of social housing in the UK and how the sector is doing in the race to a world free of carbon emissions.
Deadlines are looming for net zero and carbon neutrality – and the entire built environment needs to get on board now if we have any hope of achieving those goals in time.
Sandy Livingstone, executive director of property at Onward, David Kemp, director of sustainable communities at Turner & Townsend, and host Julia Hatmaker, editor of Place North West, pulled out their roadmap to net zero and charted where the housing industry is now, where it wants to go, and how it is going to get there in this podcast episode.
Tune in, or watch the video version, to hear their thoughts on emerging technologies that could transform the energy efficiency game, a wish list for the next government, and current best practice.
