Invite Only: Workshop: Who pays, who gains? Unlocking net zero in occupied buildings
Decarbonising occupied buildings requires investment and collaboration - but tensions often arise over who pays and who benefits. This session will unpack the challenge of split incentives between building owners and occupiers, exploring how renovation decisions, investment returns, and operational savings can be better aligned.
Through real-world examples and open discussion, participants will examine emerging models, share experiences, and co-develop ideas for bridging the gap between stakeholders to unlock meaningful climate action.
