Build2Perform, Excel
29 - 30 November 2022
Evolving from CIBSE's Building Performance Conference and Exhibition, Build2Perform offers more interactive features and multiple seminar streams at London’s Excel.
The CIBSE conference covered Lighting, Natural Ventilation, Urban Air Quality - and other topics - as well as the stream on District Heating and Cooling.
