Session 1, Energy & Carbon

Register here for the first 60-minute session of the CAA’s new season of Continuing Professional Development for Professionals. Session 1 will focus on the theme of Energy and Carbon and will offer guidance on how to minimise energy use and associated carbon emissions, while also accelerating the transition to a global, decarbonised built environment. Key focus areas for this session will include passive design, active systems, and technologies, together with renewable energy generation and energy storage. Our contributors will illustrate how some of the core principles have been applied in a range of built case studies from around the Commonwealth.
