The Building Performance Reimagined project and report were launched as part of Fiona Cousins, CIBSE President from 2024-25, presidential theme.
The project aimed to serve as a holistic, honest, and long-term assessment of how our wider world is changing. To assess how the buildings and services of 2050 will differ from today, the report considers the following factors: social change, technological change, economic change, environmental change, and politico-legal and regulatory change.
This conference will provide actionable next steps to deliver the change that is needed. A key focus of this event will be presenting case studies that demonstrate practical applications of emerging performance metrics, innovative solutions, and successful retrofitting projects. View the programme at-a-glance to get a glimpse at the fantastic agenda packed with insights from across the built environment.
Building Performance Reimagined - What's Next will take place on 26 November 2025 at the Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AG.
