Risk is often misinterpreted as being a malign influence on projects leading to injuries or deaths, business failures, or other catastrophic events. However, risk can also bring enormous rewards, benefits and success when it is channelled appropriately. This seminar will help you understand how to manage the collaborative and strategic design process to achieve acceptable or tolerable solutions without construction or maintenance risks.

Twenty-five million UK homes will need to be energy-retrofitted over the next 30 years, including historic, listed and other hard to treat buildings. On an item by item basis, this seminar will illustrate the key energy saving opportunities within existing buildings and how to tailor a retrofit master plan. Knowledge will be shared based on completed examples, including deep energy retrofits to EnerPHit, Carbon Lite and Energie-Sprong standards.

When dealing with the many varied tasks that running an architectural project entails, it is easy to focus on getting the job done ahead of communicating effectively with your client or keeping on top of your project documentation.

There is nothing new about terrorism in the UK and we have learned a lot from its history over the past 100 years and beyond. This seminar will demonstrate how good design can reduce opportunities for terrorist’s activity, as well as casualties should a terrorist attack occur. Using case studies and simulation, the session will discuss mitigation measures during concept and design stages.
