Join the expert to hear how good building design can deliver carbon reduction.
Simon will discuss the use of repeatable design and modern methods of construction and will assess the extent to which good building design can deliver carbon reduction. He will reference the NHS Cavell Centres which are in-community health and wellbeing buildings, offering a range of joined-up health and social care services, closer to home. The Centres form part of a national estates programme and are designed around a core primary care offering.
Questions will be encouraged at the end of the presentation.
