RIBA will contribute to the event programme, with Jess Hrivnak, Sustainability Lead at RIBA and Member of the UKNZCBS Technical Steering Group, who will bring her expertise on sustainability and the transition to a net zero built environment.

Jess will join the programme at elementalLONDON, the dedicated event for sustainability, net zero, energy efficiency and building performance, co-located with London Build.

As part of the Sustainability Arena, Jess will lead the session What’s in the UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard? Curated by RIBA on 26 November at 12:00pm, bringing together industry perspectives on the standard and its role in supporting the transition to net zero buildings.

Jess Hrivnak, Sustainability Lead, RIBA, said:

“In a time when climate, nature, housing and cost of living crises can feel daunting and overwhelming, collaboration can bring us together to strive for better. Industry events such as London Build and elementalLONDON are opportunities for cross-discipline sharing. I’m particularly looking forward to the panel discussions that provide examples of cross-disciplinary action and innovation towards net zero.”

Eleanor Hall, London Build and elementalLONDON, said:

“RIBA’s involvement at London Build and elementalLONDON reflects the important role that architecture plays across the wider built environment. We’re delighted to welcome RIBA as an Official Event Partner and to provide a platform for its members and the wider architecture community to connect, share knowledge and explore the ideas shaping the future of our industry.”

With architecture and design central to both London Build and elementalLONDON, RIBA’s involvement will help highlight the sector’s latest projects, ideas and innovations, while showcasing the work of its members to a diverse audience of construction and built environment professionals.
