Overview
Buildings are at the forefront of the UK's commitment to transition to a zero carbon society. The UK Construction sector needs to invest in skilling-up in areas such as: retrofit of existing building stock, modern methods of construction (MMC) and new technologies to deliver zero carbon where new roles are currently in demand. This bootcamp is aimed at those in the construction and engineering industries that want to develop and enhance their knowledge and understanding of how zero carbon in buildings can be achieved.
