Sian Taylor / KISS Principle – Keep It Simple, Stupid
The drive towards Carbon Neutrality can seem daunting in an era of escalating project costs and dwindling workloads. Yet, it's precisely now that we must reimagine our building designs to meet these challenges head-on.
There are effective ways to create buildings that are cost-effective, low in carbon, and climate resilient. A primary strategy is the KISS principle – Keep It Simple, Stupid. This talk will clearly demonstrate why this principle serves as the low hanging fruit in Low Carbon Building, enabling you and your clients to save both money and time.
