According to event organizers:

Guest Speaker: Michael Kwok, Director, Arup

This event will appeal to anyone who is interested in investing in sustainable building solutions, especially those in the construction industry. Existing building are part of a city's or town's heritage, skyline and distinct character. Although seen by many as a valuable asset and fundamental to a successful operation, they also consume significant energy, resources and investment. Maintenance, new technologies and occupancy changes also need to be dealt with. With uncertainly in the economy, increasing environmental pressure and changing legislation, making the most of existing buildings has become a key priority for public and private owners and occupiers. The presentation outlines a strategy to help buildings survive in a complex and demanding world. A case study is selected to demonstrate the implementation and outcomes of such a strategy.
