Events
Throughout the year, the team behind the Net Zero Standard organise free-to-attend events to share how public bodies are using the Standard's suite of documents to deliver their net zero buildings.
Those events are listed below and when they have taken place, the presentations and videos from them are available to view and download from the tabs below.
In addition, where other net zero related materials have been published, such as podcasts, reports or videos which are relevant to the Standard, we will link them in the Previous events section below.
This in-person event will focus on the Place aspects of the Standard and how making more of existing buildings through adaption, reimagining through demolition and building anew affects both the location that has been exited and the new location.
Details of the day are to be confirmed, but following supportive feedback for the February and June events held this year, this forthcoming October 2024 event will include excellent speakers and plenty of time for both guided discussion and informal networking, covering both the opportunities and the challenges of achieving the Standard’s outcomes – and Objective 1 Place in particular.
Zero Waste Scotland hosted an event for registered projects at its offices in Stirling and was chaired by Stephen Boyle of Zero Waste Scotland. The event focused on the opportunities, challenges and next steps in relation to the Construction Embodied Carbon requirements of the Standard. It brought clients, consultants and contractors together to form a community of practice in net zero public sector buildings in Scotland.
Staff at Fife College have recorded a number of podcasts with students and net zero experts on the new, net zero Dunfermline Learning Campus - one of the largest projects in Scotland to adopt the Net Zero Public Sector Buildings Standard.
At the end of February Scottish Government, the Scottish Futures Trust and Zero Waste Scotland invited stakeholders to an event to explore the adoption and delivery of the Scottish Government’s Net Zero Public Sector Buildings Standard. The event was chaired by Stephen Boyle of Zero Waste Scotland, with a keynote by Janice Pauwels of the Scottish Government.
The morning provided an introduction to the Standard and the links to Scottish Government funding and policy. The afternoon session focused on hearing from those working to deliver the Net Zero Standard. It provided an opportunity to build a greater understanding of how to approach and deliver each of the six objectives in the Standard, as well as provide an opportunity for delegates to feedback on what kind of support would be most helpful when starting on your Net Zero asset journey/
