Digital Construction Week returns on 18-19 May at ExCeL London, offering the insight and inspiration that will help the construction industry build better.
And this year DCW is putting the spotlight on one of the industry’s most pressing issues – net zero strategy and the move to decarbonise the built environment – with the introduction of a brand-new theatre.
Co-founder of Digital Construction Week, Ollie Hughes explains: “We’re excited to introduce the Net Zero Stage at DCW this year. We’re working in partnership with independent industry group ZERO to produce a two-day programme packed with exciting and informative sessions.”
James Bowles from ZERO comments: “Construction of our built environment accounts for an estimated 12% of all CO2e emissions. We need to change this. We need to scale low carbon materials and methods of construction.
“We need to quickly embrace new ways of working and drive adoption of technologies that reduce emissions. We need to use digital tools to make carbon visible and accountable to project teams. We need to reduce the emissions released from material extraction, transportation, processing, and all construction activities.
“ZERO is a growing industry group that wants to support the drive to low carbon construction. We’re excited to partner with DCW to deliver a series of presentations and panels in at this year’s show. The Net Zero Stage will include presentations from leading organisations, exemplar projects, and exciting new technologies. We’re working hard to create original content and see things differently.”
Ollie Hughes said essions on the Net Zero Stage will focus on how digital tools, methods and skills are improving the performance of projects and leading to lower emissions. And how maximising DfMA at renewably powered facilities can move us towards net zero emissions.
“They’ll also explore material selection, construction plant, equipment, labour and transport, and the role of technology and digitalisation in these areas,” he added.
