Building Controls – powering a zero carbon built environmentHow does the current policy landscape enable or hinder the building controls industry?
Publicly owned or private. Industrial, commercial or residential. From airport to zoo, hotel to hospital, shopping centre to school, all buildings contribute to our carbon emissions. Controls play an essential role in delivering on the UK Government’s carbon reduction commitment, reducing energy consumption and supporting health & wellbeing of occupants. Yet, the specification of building automation and control systems when designing and constructing new commercial buildings, or in retrofit of existing buildings, are not adequately mandated by legislation and often the value-add benefits and quantifiable outcomes are under-estimated. This makes it easier for developers and end-users to ‘value engineer’ a Building Energy Management System or automation system out to reduce upfront costs. The commercial sector is also lagging behind with policy support when compared to its residential counterpart. Join this lively panel discussion debating current the policy landscape, as well as the outlook and opportunities for building automation, controls, and smart technology. The panel will discuss whether the current commercial building energy efficiency models are fit for purpose or need to change and will question whether decarbonisation and energy consumption benefits are enough to change the hearts & minds of developers and landlords. We will be asking whether the benefits of building controls and automation are sufficiently understood and whether policy changes, or other interventions, are needed to help building owners and occupiers take control of the contribution they make to a cleaner, more sustainable environment. SpeakerGraeme ReesPresidentBCIA![]() Graeme is currently the UK & Ireland Digital Energy Marketing Manager for Schneider Electric and has been involved in the building controls industry for more than 30 years, after starting his career as a Project Engineer at Lidworth Ltd.
