Changes in the external climate and in the expectations of building owners and occupants are a game changer for designers and operators. This seminar shows that success in engineering the future built environment can be powered through knowledge and experience amassed from previous projects, research and operation. It discusses how engineers and their societies, such as ASHRAE and CIBSE, can adapt their historic knowledge base to meet future challenges and deliver solutions to meet the needs of tomorrow's clients and society. The presentations illustrate this by considering technological innovations that are firmly founded on robust historical insight.
