SPOTLIGHT ON SUSTAINABILITY: EVENT FEATURES

ZED-Power to the People: A better future is possible and ZED-Power are already building it.

Using beyond net zero integrated systems, developed with the lowest environmental impact and the highest living standards in mind, ZED-Power build next generation spaces that enhance rather than degrade the environment, and that many people young at heart want to live in.

Check out ZED-Power’s latest innovation - the ZED Micro Home and revolutionary e port. A truly flatpack micro home that can be assembled with only a rubber mallet and power drill! See first-hand what could be the answer to several issues currently affecting the UK, namely the housing crisis and continued damned on an already overstretched power grid.

Net Zero Pioneers Wall

Don’t miss the Net Zero Pioneers’ display at Futurebuild. Visit to see displays from Hanson, ecobuild.brussels, tepeo and Viessman, who are all leading the way at scale and showing the industry how they are progressing on the path to net zero.

ACAN Natural Materials Showcase

Architects Climate Action Network (ACAN) will be showcasing low-carbon construction build-ups using natural materials and hosting live building demonstrations by industry experts in hempcrete, clay plaster, earth, and lime.

They will share news about recent events and ongoing campaigns to decarbonise the construction industry, including our campaign to Regulate Embodied Carbon. And we’ll be selling physical copies of our Climate Emergency Conservation Area Toolkit which aims to provide a methodology with a worked example to update Conservation Area Guidance allowing more complete Climate Emergency Retrofitting.

ASBP Awards Gallery

Don’t miss the ASBP Gallery where you will find the winners of the 5th annual ASBP Awards! This year’s winners are accelerating the pace of change in the industry through the delivery of exemplar projects, low carbon & high-performance products and forward-thinking initiatives

Futurebuild Bar sponsored by Natural Building Systems

Natural Building Systems is taking over the Futurebuild Bar to share their passion for making a positive impact on climate change and society through interactive design challenges, workshops and discussions. Together with collaborators and partners they are creating a shared vision for construction without destruction. Make sure you grab a drink at the Bar and meet Natural Building Systems there!

540 WORLD showcase

This year at Futurebuild, 540 WORLD is advocating that safe product ingredients are the first pillar of change needed to create a circular, regenerative design model for the built environment. They will showcase the largest stand of certified, safe and circular gamechanging products which are all innovations in their own sectors.

Some examples of the products on 540 WORLD’s H26 stand showcase include a prototype of the world’s first certified sustainable Accoya wood fender from International Timber, Purline flooring from wineo, Honext fibre panels, Magna Glaskeramik’s sintered crystal, Shaw Contract carpet tiles, Staco Gratings steel and aluminium, Graphenstone paint that absorbs CO2 and has graphene nanotechnology, plus living walls and international knowledgepartner, the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute. 540 WORLD plans to empower specifiers to take an authentic stand for non-toxic, circular, planet-positive innovations through knowledgesharing and introductions to leading, safe, certified, circular materials.

AT Awards Gallery

Visit the Architecture Today Awards Gallery to find the 2023 winning projects that demonstrate a strong track record for delivering on their environmental, functional, community and cultural ambitions. You can also catch 3 of the finalists present their project that has stood the test of time, live on the main Conference Arena on 07 March.

Climate Framework Wall

Underpinned by the vision and the mission of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the “Climate Framework” presents a globally shared curriculum - organised around six overarching themes - for education and upskilling for climate action. Building a consortium of built environment professionals and academics all around the world, the same-named Initiative draws upon deep industry knowledge, leverages the best academic research, and cross-pollinates experiences and expertise across the global construction sector and academia.

The “RIBA Climate Guide” - to be launched at Futurebuild, with book signing taking place on the 09 March - is structured around the Climate Framework topics. Contextualising the climate emergency within the built environment landscape, this book maps out the essential background knowledge needed to inform all built environment professionals and academics in their day-to-day climate action.
