RetroNetZero Innovator (Fabric) Workshop
2024-07-30 15:00 - 16:30 | Online
RetroNetZero Innovator Workshop for building fabric-based products/ processes: your opportunity to voice potential solutions
The RetroNetZero network is intended to help overcome regulatory science-related challenges to facilitate the adoption of innovation in domestic retrofit.
Acknowledging that the fundamental intentions of legislation should be respected and maintained (e.g. Building Safety Act, etc), the aim of the network will be to identify and propose solutions to existing challenges faced by retrofit product innovators, or, at the very least, identify the research or data needed to allow the regulatory landscape to safely adapt to facilitate the use of innovative products, systems and approaches in the medium to long term.
We are keen to hear from innovators with a building fabric focus (or associated stakeholders, such as specifiers) who can reflect on their own experiences and thoughts to suggest solutions to common challenges of mainstreaming the use of innovative technologies and approaches for retrofit.
(Note that building services solutions will be explored in a separate workshop.)
It is intended that this insight will help the RetroNetZero team shape our proposals for the operation of the regulatory science network which we hope you will follow and join us.
Take a look at the project overview to find out more.

Offsite Manufacturing & Technology- Manufacturers' Information
2025-02-07 11:00 - 12:30 | Online
The landscape around digital information for construction products and manufacturers is changing. In this session we will be exploring three emerging areas: Code for Construction Product Information, Digital Product Passports and Manufacturers Information Hub.
Amanda Long from the Code for Construction Product Information will be sharing details on how it is raising standards in construction product information and marketing and drive positive culture change in the manufacturing and supply sector in relation to product information and marketing.
Alex Small will share insight into insight into Digital Product Passports and how they relate in the UK. In 2024 the EU introduced new regulation requiring nearly all products sold in the EU to feature a Digital Product Passport (DPP). This initiative, part of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, aims to enhance transparency across product value chains by providing comprehensive information about each product’s origin, materials, environmental impact, and disposal recommendations. The DPP is designed to close the gap between consumer demands for transparency and the current lack of reliable product data. The Manufacturers Information Hub is a single, global, access point for all construction product manufacturers’ information. The project, which is a collaboration between sixteen of Europe’s largest construction product manufacturers, will significantly reduce the complexity of obtaining Digital Product Passports (DPPs), EPD/LCA data, reuse data, handover documents and data.’ Attend the session to find out how the project will help your business?

The built environment and construction industry face constant external and internal challenges that require a systemic approach to innovation to turn these challenges into opportunity. Innovation is vital to driving continuous improvement and to achieve our net zero ambitions, although it often suffers from hype with a lot of noise and a lack of implementation.
Join us on 3rd March for a session on Zero-carbon construction using Optoppen and changes and behaviour in the R&D claims landscape.

Zero-carbon construction using Optoppen

“A new free, open access digital tool has been developed as part of the Optoppen project – Exploring the use of lightweight roof extensions using timber and other bio-materials.
Hosted on a web platform that also showcases the opportunities and successes of this form of construction, the tool enables property owners and asset managers to get a feel for the structural capacity of their buildings for themselves, unlocking potential for their buildings and portfolio.
Optoppen increases the floor area in existing buildings, contributing to urban decarbonisation targets, densification strategies and more-efficient use of existing infrastructure. Combining refurbishment and the use of timber is a very low embodied carbon solution using today’s technologies and demonstrates the circular economy in action, ticking many sustainability boxes.
Reusing existing building frames, and adapting and extending existing building stock, is also a logical response to the challenges the construction industry faces in meeting climate targets. Lightweight vertical extensions increase the amount of additional floor area achievable using the capacity of existing foundations and structure.
The talk will discuss the innovative nature of the tool, the process that was undertaken to develop it and will include a live demonstration of the tool in action. Case studies will be shared of Optoppen projects, including projects throughout Europe and beyond!”

UK – R&D claims landscape – changes and behaviour

Join us for an insightful talk on the latest changes to the UK Research and Development (R&D) claim scheme, designed to keep you ahead in the ever-evolving landscape of tax reliefs. This session will delve into the significant reforms introduced, including the new Merged Scheme and HMRC’s enhanced approach to enquiries and checks.
The Merged Scheme, effective from April 2024, combines the previous R&D Expenditure Credit (RDEC) and the SME R&D relief into a single, streamlined system. This change aims to simplify the claiming process, making it more accessible and efficient for businesses of all sizes. Under the Merged Scheme, companies can now claim a 20% R&D expenditure credit, with enhanced support for loss-making SMEs through the Enhanced R&D Intensive Support (ERIS), allowing them to deduct up to 186% of their qualifying costs.
In addition to these structural changes, HMRC has intensified its focus on compliance to tackle abuse and ensure the integrity of the R&D tax relief system. This includes mandatory digital submissions for all claims, accompanied by detailed additional information forms. HMRC has also introduced a mandatory random enquiry programme (MREP) to better understand and address non-compliance. These measures are designed to protect taxpayer money while ensuring that legitimate claimants can continue to benefit from the reliefs.
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of these pivotal changes and how they could impact your business. Whether you’re a seasoned R&D claimant or new to the process, this talk will provide valuable insights and practical advice to navigate the new landscape effectively.
