responsible world now I know we live in
responsible world now I know we live in a world where environmental awareness is
a world where environmental awareness is
a world where environmental awareness is probably greater than it’s ever been in

sitting at about seven-and-a-half
sitting at about seven-and-a-half billion people right now and that’s just

growing the rate of population growth is
growing the rate of population growth is decreasing but we’re still increasing
decreasing but we’re still increasing
decreasing but we’re still increasing the effective load on the planet so the
the effective load on the planet so the

more people we have the more resources
more people we have the more resources we need the bigger the cities we have so
we need the bigger the cities we have so
we need the bigger the cities we have so when we combine that population growth
when we combine that population growth
when we combine that population growth with rapid urbanization it creates
with rapid urbanization it creates
with rapid urbanization it creates challenges but it also creates
challenges but it also creates
challenges but it also creates opportunities so right now we have about
opportunities so right now we have about
opportunities so right now we have about three and a half billion people in the
three and a half billion people in the
three and a half billion people in the world that live in cities
world that live in cities
world that live in cities we’re gonna add another 2.4 in the next
we’re gonna add another 2.4 in the next
we’re gonna add another 2.4 in the next thirty three years so we’re gonna have
thirty three years so we’re gonna have
thirty three years so we’re gonna have about six billion people living in
about six billion people living in
about six billion people living in cities that’s we’ve got to build cities
cities that’s we’ve got to build cities

the number two the number two and that’s
the number two the number two and that’s significant because these world leaders
significant because these world leaders
significant because these world leaders have committed their governments and

their economies to limiting the average
their economies to limiting the average temperature annual average temperature

that number sort of starts you know
that number sort of starts you know 1800s the temperature average
1800s the temperature average
1800s the temperature average temperature along the year just kind of
temperature along the year just kind of
temperature along the year just kind of bumped along a little bit higher a
bumped along a little bit higher a
bumped along a little bit higher a little bit lower there was volcanic
little bit lower there was volcanic
little bit lower there was volcanic activity to go a little higher but we’re

degree cap is is is a key and two
degree cap is is is a key and two degrees is is what was ratified but with

a goal of 1.5
a goal of 1.5 and where are we today it’s we’re

halfway there
halfway there last year the annual average increase
last year the annual average increase
last year the annual average increase above that pre-industrial time was 0.99
above that pre-industrial time was 0.99
above that pre-industrial time was 0.99 degrees I’m just gonna call that a

if we’re talking about that two degree
if we’re talking about that two degree mark we’re halfway there if we’re

that’s that’s millions of buildings
that’s that’s millions of buildings around the world effectively need to go

point where we deliver a design contractor builds it and that team that
contractor builds it and that team that
contractor builds it and that team that team dissipates it goes its separate way
team dissipates it goes its separate way
team dissipates it goes its separate way and part of that’s wonderful right so
and part of that’s wonderful right so
and part of that’s wonderful right so all those all those lessons that are
all those all those lessons that are
all those all those lessons that are learned get dispersed amongst the

community but the hard thing is that it
community but the hard thing is that it also gets dispersed and diluted and so
also gets dispersed and diluted and so
also gets dispersed and diluted and so that group that might have had a really
that group that might have had a really
that group that might have had a really great idea that in two or three or four
great idea that in two or three or four
great idea that in two or three or four more prototype iterations what it really
more prototype iterations what it really
more prototype iterations what it really would have really locked on to a way to
would have really locked on to a way to
would have really locked on to a way to do it
do it
do it quicker or cheaper or whatever has just
quicker or cheaper or whatever has just
quicker or cheaper or whatever has just dispersed and they don’t have that
dispersed and they don’t have that
dispersed and they don’t have that ability to feedback in and learn and we
ability to feedback in and learn and we
ability to feedback in and learn and we fundamentally don’t have a space for
fundamentally don’t have a space for
fundamentally don’t have a space for that the universities are doing research
that the universities are doing research
that the universities are doing research we have organizations within the UK that
we have organizations within the UK that
we have organizations within the UK that also do research but as private sector

also do research but as private sector we don’t have a community we don’t have
we don’t have a community we don’t have
we don’t have a community we don’t have a collective that allows us and this is
a collective that allows us and this is
a collective that allows us and this is part of part of what I’m here to talk
part of part of what I’m here to talk
part of part of what I’m here to talk about it try to figure out how how we
about it try to figure out how how we
about it try to figure out how how we and you can all figure out how we do
and you can all figure out how we do
and you can all figure out how we do this I’ve not figured it out yet and
this I’ve not figured it out yet and
this I’ve not figured it out yet and I’ve been talking about the technical
I’ve been talking about the technical
I’ve been talking about the technical team but the reality is we’re only a
team but the reality is we’re only a
team but the reality is we’re only a small portion of it all of us are in
small portion of it all of us are in
small portion of it all of us are in buildings we spend we live work sleep we
buildings we spend we live work sleep we
buildings we spend we live work sleep we spend 90% of our time and buildings
spend 90% of our time and buildings
spend 90% of our time and buildings that’s that’s that’s the that’s the
that’s that’s that’s the that’s the
that’s that’s that’s the that’s the figure so if you think about that we
figure so if you think about that we
figure so if you think about that we live I think I read it’s now 80 81 years
live I think I read it’s now 80 81 years
live I think I read it’s now 80 81 years we spend about 70 years of our lives and
we spend about 70 years of our lives and
we spend about 70 years of our lives and buildings that’s we spend a lot of time
buildings that’s we spend a lot of time
buildings that’s we spend a lot of time in buildings and so we’re all active
in buildings and so we’re all active
in buildings and so we’re all active participants right we choose where we go
participants right we choose where we go
participants right we choose where we go we choose how we choose where we live we
we choose how we choose where we live we
we choose how we choose where we live we choose where we go to school we choose
choose where we go to school we choose
choose where we go to school we choose all these things right but we but what
all these things right but we but what
all these things right but we but what we don’t fundamentally do is choose
we don’t fundamentally do is choose
we don’t fundamentally do is choose around sustainable credentials of a

living in buildings we’re all part of it we all know that that we read the papers
we all know that that we read the papers
we all know that that we read the papers we know that we live in this world

that’s more
that’s more mentally where so from us from a
mentally where so from us from a
mentally where so from us from a stakeholder alignment we all need to
stakeholder alignment we all need to
stakeholder alignment we all need to take responsibility but then there’s
take responsibility but then there’s
take responsibility but then there’s there’s even the wider group right so so
there’s even the wider group right so so
there’s even the wider group right so so I’ve no doubt we have leaders from local
I’ve no doubt we have leaders from local
I’ve no doubt we have leaders from local and central government we’ve got folks
and central government we’ve got folks
and central government we’ve got folks at work for 50 100 companies sure we
at work for 50 100 companies sure we
at work for 50 100 companies sure we have folks here that that work for funds
have folks here that that work for funds
have folks here that that work for funds that that are in development and so we
that that are in development and so we
that that are in development and so we need to we need to all come together
need to we need to all come together
need to we need to all come together around that common that common goal it’s
around that common that common goal it’s
around that common that common goal it’s not just the developers it’s not just
not just the developers it’s not just
not just the developers it’s not just the design team that that’s
the design team that that’s
the design team that that’s responsibility because it goes much
responsibility because it goes much
responsibility because it goes much wider than that we can design technical
wider than that we can design technical
wider than that we can design technical buildings that get us there but if they
buildings that get us there but if they
buildings that get us there but if they don’t work out economically and they
don’t work out economically and they
don’t work out economically and they don’t work out socially then they’re not
don’t work out socially then they’re not
don’t work out socially then they’re not responsible and something when we talk
responsible and something when we talk
responsible and something when we talk about accelerating I’ve talked about
about accelerating I’ve talked about
about accelerating I’ve talked about that prototyping methodology and the
that prototyping methodology and the
that prototyping methodology and the technical side and we can do we need to
technical side and we can do we need to
technical side and we can do we need to figure that out and we will as a
figure that out and we will as a
figure that out and we will as a technical group but we also have to
technical group but we also have to
technical group but we also have to figure out how we make these things work
figure out how we make these things work
figure out how we make these things work because right now that the NOC is that
because right now that the NOC is that
because right now that the NOC is that green buildings cost a bit more and by
green buildings cost a bit more and by
green buildings cost a bit more and by and large they probably do so while we
and large they probably do so while we
and large they probably do so while we try to figure out how to make these
try to figure out how to make these
try to figure out how to make these technical buildings more cost-effective
technical buildings more cost-effective
technical buildings more cost-effective more universal we also need the other
more universal we also need the other
more universal we also need the other half of the stakeholder group to try to
half of the stakeholder group to try to
half of the stakeholder group to try to help figure out actually how can we make
help figure out actually how can we make
help figure out actually how can we make the the business models work such that
the the business models work such that
the the business models work such that it doesn’t have to be straight line
it doesn’t have to be straight line
it doesn’t have to be straight line right now because if we wait that long
right now because if we wait that long
right now because if we wait that long we’re just with the clock’s ticking we
we’re just with the clock’s ticking we
we’re just with the clock’s ticking we got 13 years right now if we wait till
got 13 years right now if we wait till
got 13 years right now if we wait till 10 years to get to that or nine years we
10 years to get to that or nine years we
10 years to get to that or nine years we might miss the boat so I’m going to
might miss the boat so I’m going to
might miss the boat so I’m going to leave you guys with a bit of a challenge
leave you guys with a bit of a challenge
leave you guys with a bit of a challenge so we all know that it’s all a
so we all know that it’s all a
so we all know that it’s all a responsibility we all know that the goal
responsibility we all know that the goal
responsibility we all know that the goal is two degrees max right so we’re all in
is two degrees max right so we’re all in
is two degrees max right so we’re all in agreement there I just want everybody
agreement there I just want everybody
agreement there I just want everybody here to leave today and try to figure
here to leave today and try to figure
here to leave today and try to figure out what you can specifically do in your
out what you can specifically do in your
out what you can specifically do in your job and your in in your personal life
job and your in in your personal life
job and your in in your personal life that helps us maintain two degrees thank
that helps us maintain two degrees thank
