I'm on a panel at UK Construction Week today. 3.30pm main stage. Come and hear me discuss #TransformingConstruction with some real experts providing the details, including how hospitals will be built differently. I'll do the provocation and jokes.


Delighted that we have been shortlisted for the #BritREAwards by REA for our Trent Basin #Community #Energy Scheme in #Nottingham, developed through Project SCENe and other projects, supported by Innovate UK Energy Research Accelerator @beisgovuk Active Building Centre Research Programme Final on 9th June!


♨️At SPECIFIC, we're investigating methods for #thermalheatstorage. We use #ActiveMaterial to store heat energy, ready to release it at a later point when we need it. FlexisProject | Tata Steel UK | @SUEngineering ➡️Here's how it works youtu.be/T068hbipSt4
