The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) is hosting a one‑day event in Norwich on 25 March to examine whether low‑impact materials can deliver high‑performance buildings. Attendees will explore sustainable design approaches, material selection criteria, and modern performance requirements through expert panels and product showcases. The agenda includes networking opportunities, interactive Q&A sessions, and supplier presentations aimed at bridging the gap between sustainability and construction quality. Tickets are available via the CIOB events portal.
