Actuate UK, Saint Gobain and the Construction Industry Council (CIC) will share how they, as ConstructZero partners, are already advancing the importance of retrofit, materials, and design/professional services in delivering Net Zero. Business Champions Keltbray, Travis Perkins, as well as ACE members Atkins and Costain, will identify some of the major challenges they face, and share best practice.
