The Government has an ambition for all new non-domestic buildings to be zero carbon from 2019, with the public sector leading the way with schools by 2016 and other central Government estate from 2018. Is this achievable? What does zero carbon actually mean? How much will it cost? Can the industry respond to this challenging aim? Do we have the skills?

This Energy Performance Group conference sets out to address some of these questions and to look at how the next 10 years trajectory towards this goal will unfold.

Hear about

• The Government consultation from Department of Communities and Local Government
• How do we think we can reach zero carbon?
• Case studies on non domestic buildings such as offices and schools
• The costs of zero carbon
