Espresso Briefing

On the road to net zero for the retail sector

09:00 – 10:00 on Thursday 27 June 2024

Digital event via Zoom

Espresso Briefings are CPD events exclusively for
the UK’s public sector property professionals.
Hosted by Avison Young and supported by ACES,
our latest event will discuss factors affecting our
journey to net zero.

What are the key pressures affecting the retail built environment,
the changes that need to be made and the cost of
doing so in order to achieve the green industrial revolution
and how is the sector performing on its path to net zero?
In this session, Lesley Males, Director, Market Intelligence,
Avison Young, Munish Vaswani, Associate Director, ESG,
Avison Young and James Millar, Graduate Surveyor,
Avison Young will present research findings on the costs
and implications for the retail sector as a result of
Government regulation for all commercial buildings in
England and Wales to reach minimum energy efficiency
standards by 2030 – and what is needed for the path to
net zero.
This event is aimed at public sector organisations and those
managing existing stock, focusing on the cost implications
and sustainability of upgrading assets to meet the EPC-C
grade deadline in five years.
