CIBSE

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.

Better District Heating and Cooling

Heat Pump District Networks allow improved affordability and reduced carbon emissions for heating and cooling.
