One in 10 London offices could be unusable by 2023 if they don’t meet the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards. In order to avoid stranded assets, there needs to be substantial investment in Real Estate, but what is the best path forward? Do you renovate your property or demolish it and start again? Crucially, what is the more sustainable option?
The Real Estate sector is responsible for more than 20% of the world’s carbon emissions and continues to face increased scrutiny. In light of this focus, how can you make sure you’re futureproofing your assets? And what technology, investment and assessments can you leverage when deciding what is best for your organisation?
This event is open to all, registration is essential to receive joining instructions a day prior. Register today.
