Event Description

Hear from Technoform and Autex as we unpack what better buildings can look like, inside and out.

Dyann Stewart - Facade Consultant - Technoform

Talk Topic: Building with Nature – Daylight and Human-Centric Design

In an era where sustainability and occupant well-being are paramount, the integration of natural daylight and human-centric design principles is no longer optional—it’s essential.

This presentation explores how thoughtful daylighting strategies and envelope design can enhance not only the energy performance of buildings but also the health, comfort, and productivity of their occupants. We’ll examine the science behind daylight’s impact on human behaviour, the design and human impact of window-to-wall ratios, and how advanced thermal break technologies enable high-performance façades that support both people and the planet.

Whether you're designing a high-rise office, a school, or a residential development, this session will provide you with practical insights and introduce tools to create buildings that are resilient, efficient, and human-centric.

Learning outcomes:

  • Understand the impact of window-to-wall ratios on thermal performance and occupant comfort.
  • Evaluate the role of daylight in supporting human-centric design while managing energy demands.
  • Identify the components of an integrated high-performance building envelope.
  • Apply knowledge of glazing technologies to improve building compliance and sustainability.
  • Advocate for envelope design choices that support long-term health, comfort, and environmental outcomes.

Talk topic: Carbon Neutral Carbon Neutrality in Building Materials

We explore how the building sector can reduce carbon emissions by addressing embodied and operational carbon through design, materials, and collaboration

Learning outcomes:

  • Gain a clear understanding of embodied carbon, and why it is critical to address in the design and construction of buildings.
  • Learn practical strategies for carbon reduction.
  • Recognise the role of design and regulation in achieving net-zero goals.
