Green 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. Expert speakers include senior executives and sustainability directors from British Land, Hammerson and Canary Wharf Group, among many others.

New and refurbished office developments featured include the Angel Building, 10 Queen Street Place, 60 Threadneedle Street, 199 Bishopsgate and Regent’s Place. There will also be a breakfast preview on site of the new Siemens Urban Sustainability Centre, at the heart of London’s Green Enterprise District. Many leading architectural and engineering practices will also be opening up discussion to the sector through a range of exciting informal events hosted in their own offices.

Sponsors and supporters of Green Sky Thinking include the British Council for Offices, Institute for Sustainability¹s FLASH programme, Urban Land Institute and LessEn, SJ Berwin, UK Green Building Council, Institution of Civil Engineers and the Landscape Institute.
