The built environment is responsible for 37 per cent of global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. As we look to the future of our buildings, cities and regions, innovative, high-performance, low carbon design becomes crucial to achieving a better tomorrow. The Better Building Exchange enabled by HIP V. HYPE is a space dedicated to cross-disciplinary exchange aimed at amplifying ideas, skills, technologies and relationships to more rapidly decarbonise our built environment at scale. Rapid deployment of low carbon strategies at scale to reduce the climate impact of our built environment is one of the great challenges of our time. HIP V. HYPE believe that many of the skills and technologies to achieve meaningful outcomes immediately already exist.

Commencing with a panel discussion moderated by former Habitus editor Nicky Lobo, join HIP V. HYPE in launching the Better Building Exchange to unpack how genuine collaboration and capacity building can reduce impact whilst supporting exceptional outcomes.
