Panel discussion: When will the reuse of building materials in projects become mainstream?
- 24 May 2023

The replacement rate for an office fit-out is every 7-10 years. Whether the fit-out has been to Category A or Category B standards, an incoming tenant will strip out the carpets, partitions, ceilings and kitchens and replace them with alternative carpets and kitchens which suits their company’s specification. This generates 140m tonnes of waste every year.
Is the adoption of a Category C ethos the answer? How does the sector reduce the frequency of fit-outs? What would be included in the scope of the fit-out?
Join us for a panel discussion to consider how office fit-outs can move toward the circular sustainability of the Category C concept.
Our panelists:
- Kasper Vibaek – Head of Sustainability, Rockfon
- Laura Wiesner – CEO, Wiesner-Hager
- Asif Din – Sustainability Director, Perkins & Will
- Zoe Glandar – Environmental & Sustainability Manager, Morgan Lovell
Panel discussion: Is the noisy restaurant phenomenon out of control?
- 25 May 2023
- 14:00
Dining out in restaurants is not just about food. It’s also about sound. Scientific research shows that background music, noise levels and acoustics affect not only the atmosphere but also the way we taste what we eat and drink. Consumer surveys show that excessive noise is the top complaint in many restaurants with restaurant rating apps like SoundPrint and Zagat providing consumers with the tools they need to vote with their feet to find a quieter restaurant.
Join us for a panel discussion on how to get the best acoustic experiences in hospitality venues.
