Green Sky Thinking

Green Sky ThinkingGreen Sky Thinking supports sustainable solutions by enabling property sector professionals to find out what works in practice, understand innovations, and get inside information on the latest developments in low carbon building and retrofit.

Commercial and office buildings are a key theme, with informal tours and talks bringing client, professional and end-user together to show successful collaborations in creating and managing green new build and retrofit.
