We’ve had a really inspiring day in Brighton today, at the second Footprint+ Conference, and were fortunate enough to be afforded the opportunity to Chair one of the panels. Jörg Matthaei chaired the panel Powering up: Sustainable regeneration and the role of an electricity microgrid, alongside Neil Murphy, TOWN, Joel Gustafsson, JG Consultants and Meredith Bowles, Mole Architects, who were involved in the £40 Million regeneration of the Wolverton town centre near Milton Keynes, which introduces on-site renewables resulting in lower energy bills for both purchasers and tenants.
There were many interesting panels throughout the day, and resulting discussions on subjects from green financing, to repurposing shopping centre units into non-acute healthcare centres, as NHS Dorset have done so successfully.
The longevity of beautifully designed buildings, well constructed with innovative energy generation, minimising carbon footprint are aims that The Manser Practice tries to deliver on all of their projects.
