This site tour will kick off with short presentations to set out key concepts and the thinking behind the project, followed by tours of the building itself to explore practical examples of deep retrofit solutions. Afterwards there will be a networking session with industry peers, with light lunch and drinks provided. 

Join UKGBC on a visit to Coal House, a deep retrofit office building in Cardiff City Centre with BREEAM Excellent and SKA Gold. 

Coal House is a four-story office building located in Cardiff city centre with 30,000sq ft of net internal area. Vacant possession of the property in 2022 presented an opportunity to retrofit the building to maximise the sustainability whilst creating a vibrant and engaging workspace that also provides improved facilities for occupants and enhances user wellbeing. 

There are growing regulatory and commercial risks associated with older, less energy-efficient buildings – particularly in the office market. As our awareness of the need to decarbonise our built environment grows, it is becoming clear that retrofitting existing buildings results in lower whole life carbon emissions than demolition and new build, whilst reducing the wider ecological impacts of construction waste and resource usage. Deep retrofit is able to achieve significant cuts in operational energy use (60-65%+), transition buildings away from fossil fuels, and meet best practice 2030-2035 energy performance targets for offices. (UKGBC Building the Case for Net Zero: Retrofitting Office Buildings). 

To minimise the embodied carbon impact, the structure at Coal House was maintained and, instead, the building underwent an exterior refurbishment with solar PV and solar shading installed. The core plant and all heating and ventilation equipment were replaced. Alongside this, technologically integrated variable air flow valves were included which enabled automated air quality management on a localised basis. The lighting was upgraded to new, highly-efficient LED systems. 

To support the ongoing running of the building, a new building management system (BMS) was installed, integrating a smart building server, sensors, access and visitor management systems. Furthermore, a building app called Coalhouse.life was introduced to facilitate interaction between the smart technology, building amenity and the building occupants. 

Coal House featured as a case study in UKGBC’s report, Building the Case for Net Zero: Retrofitting Office Buildings. Visit page 56 for information about Coal House.

We’ve officially launched a consultation into a new UK Climate Resilience Roadmap for the built environment. 

Ahead of a full industry report launch in March 2025, we have also released five key policy recommendations for government and policy makers as the UK faces more frequent and intense climate shocks like flooding and heatwaves.  

Recommendations include making climate safety a national priority under the leadership of the Prime Minister, reform of the planning system and protecting communities with trees, parks and ponds. 

We have also recommend ensuring existing homes and new buildings are fit for a more hazardous climate future. 

We’ve been co-creating the UK’s first resilience roadmap with leading experts from across the industry over the last year.

Intended to be an informative, actionable, and evidence-based pathway, the roadmap will detail how the built environment can adapt to, and protect people from, a changing climate. 

We held a first round of consultation on initial proposals in July 2024 and revised the proposals based on feedback. Now we’re seeking input on these updated proposals and new additions, the final opportunity for industry to share perspectives on the guidance before it is published.

Following this second round of consultation, which closes on January 6, the new roadmap will be launched in March 2025 alongside a full policy recommendations report, technical report and interactive ‘vulnerability to climate hazards’ web map.

Smith Mordak, Chief Executive Officer at UKGBC, said:

Every day we feel the impacts of a fundamentally changed climate. From sharp increases in the prices of essentials to lives tragically cut short, we are all seeing climate change play out across our social and ecological systems. This makes it more urgent than ever to prioritise adaptation, and to fairly transition to a built environment that is not only sustainable, but resilient. Please add your voice to this crucial project.”

Hannah Giddings, Head of Resilience and Adaptation at UKGBC, said:

Global warming is making climate-related hazards like heatwaves and floods more frequent and severe. Current climate pledges and targets across the globe are predicted to limit global temperature increase to between 1.7 to 2.7 degrees Celsius by 2100, meaning that we can expect significant changes in weather patterns and the frequency of extreme weather events.  

These changes are predicted to cause harm, excess deaths, and socio-economic breakdown, which is why we need a built environment that prepares for, and responds to, these hazards. The UK Climate Resilience Roadmap project sets out our definition of what a climate-resilient built environment could be, and how the built environment industry plans to achieve it.

We are now calling on industry to get involved and respond to the consultation so we can ensure the roadmap is useful, valuable and actionable for stakeholders across all sectors of the industry.” 

Our second UK Climate Resilience Roadmap consultation is now open and we are seeking feedback about climate resilience in the built environment from individuals and organisations across the value chain. Find out more and submit your feedback by 6th of January.

UK Climate Resilience Roadmap

As climate change impacts continue to occur, the built environment must prepare for hazards such as heatwaves, floods, and storms whilst cutting carbon emissions. To start, we first need to understand how to measure our resilience, establish industry-wide targets and pinpoint essential actions and policies to achieve them.

About this event 

Pall Mall is located in the heart of Manchester City Centre was featured as a case study in our Building the Case for Net Zero: Retrofitting Office Buildings report earlier this year. Originally constructed in 1969, it is Grade II listed and was acquired by UKGBC member and commercial property specialist Bruntwood in October 2021 having sat mostly vacant for four years. The deep retrofit project is targeting a 74% reduction in Energy Use Intensity (EUI), an EPC rating improvement from G to A, a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating, and a +100% increase in rental value.  Whole life cycle carbon was a fundamental driver for determining the retrofit strategy, which will also create a vibrant new public realm in a previously under-utilised area. 

The site tour will kick off with short presentations to set out key concepts and the thinking behind the project, followed by tours of the building itself to explore practical examples of retrofit solutions.  There will be opportunities to discuss queries and network with industry peers.

The cafe’s

As in the previous series of Race to Zero focussed Collaboration Cafes, this series is inspired by the World Café Method.  Developed 30 years ago, this method enables us to bring different subsectors of the built environment together, to talk about the difficulties that are hard to share openly and the successes that we often ignore. The method supports insightful, collaborative and supportive knowledge sharing. Just like when we meet friends at a café. 

We start with fun, tension-relieving ice breaking and matching people for cross pollination of ideas and organised networking. We ask them to write insights from the roundtables in post it notes, organise those in harvest walls for live mapping patterns and ask them to share the most profound insights gained from the events, while gently approaching the elephant in the room. 

Voices of Knowledge  

at the end of sessions, a common thought openly shared was “I realise I know more than I thought I did! What a relief”

The mix of voices at the cafes covered a wide range of subsectors in the built environment, from academic, to local authorities, sustainability experts to constructors, product manufacturers to architects and designers and multi-disciplinary consultants, to policy and industry-focused NGOs.  

To understand our group, we sense checked how much the organisations attending knew about climate resilience. We asked people in the room to say if “they had no knowledge or heard of it”, “they had knowledge and taking action”, or “if they considered themselves as a guru on climate resilience”. Members said the level of knowledge they had was predominantly at the middle point at all five cafes – London, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow. However, at the end of sessions, when we make a main harvest of insights, a common thought openly shared was “I realise I know more than I thought I did! What a relief”…  

Insights from the cafe’s

What is climate resilience in the built environment for industry organisations

An image is better than a thousand words, here some pictures of the answer we’ve got: 

Did you notice the “oops”?…It may sound funny, but it’s also a very clear image: what falls out of climate resilience will ultimately mean that there is something to regret. 

The risks of inaction 

It is of course clear that action to implement climate resilience may not be as feasible, as fast or as a high priority as needed right now. Nevertheless, we have to make it priority. 

There is a lot going on right now, there is a sense of rush and workloads heavier than what we can easily handle. The world, humanity and ecosystems are experiencing deep crises. It is of course clear that action to implement climate resilience may not be as feasible, as fast or as a high priority as needed right now. Nevertheless, we have to make it priority. 

To make the point, we asked participants what inaction would mean for their organisation if it fails to implement resilience. We took those hundred insights and found some clear themes. The categories for the type of perceived risks were aligned to known frameworks (TCFD, IFRS), as well as new categories we’ve created (e.g. societal & environmental-related risk), following the values and guidelines we are looking at our Climate Resilience Roadmap project. The table below lists all the perspectives of perceived risks.  Are there any there that surprise you?

There are, of course, some differences found between the different locations where we hosted cafes.

There are, of course, some differences found between the different locations where we hosted cafes. While the findings depend on who attended these events and what the background and individual knowledge is of each attendee, the “cross pollination” effect from the method of the event give us an option to look at the results from a location perspective. Also, as other research has found, local culture can have a leading impact on how individuals approach sustainability (ref, and ref). 

Have a look in the interactive visualisation below to see what each city, as well as the average, said about what the major perceived risks for them are.

If there was no limit to resources, knowledge or capacity, what would you ask to make climate resilience possible for the built environment? What would you say?

Needs from the Industry 

If there was no limit to resources, knowledge or capacity, what would you ask to make climate resilience possible for the built environment? What would you say?  

That wasn’t quite the question we posed, but we did ask what their organisation needed to achieve climate resilience in the built environment. In a similar method to how I described we used for the risks analysis, we looked at the answers to this question. These were the categories found in the table below. 

To me, conceptual and behavioural needs are as important as the practical and technical aspects of needs and therefore, capacity to act. It was particularly interesting to note the difference in what members said was most needed. See the visualisation below for their perspectives:

To me, conceptual and behavioural needs are as important as the practical and technical aspects of needs

There seem to be some distinctive needs for the industry. Do you agree? 
What I can say right now is that we are working hard at engaging policy makers to support climate resilience in the built environment, we continue to engage and train leaders and the wider community to empower individuals to feel knowledgeable and take bold action, and we are definitely working hard to provide guidance, metrics, while encouraging stakeholder alignment and systemic change with the Climate Resilience Roadmap Project.

Action: where are industry organisations?

What is the key action your organisation could take to implement climate resilience in the built environment? What would be your answer? 

We worked with the insights collected, and even though this is a very personal perspective, which will vary depending on multiple factors, this is what the overall members said would be their next step:

While there are several caveats to these results, this image is confirming that our members are at different levels of action and are indeed aware. It also shows that industry organisations are adopting a systemic view, embracing collaboration and knowledge sharing, which are crucial for the industry’s collective and convergent climate resilience action. 

Hearts and minds for action

In the mind, love is a concept. In the heart, love is an action.” 

John-Roger, DSS 

I’m feeling encouraged. Facilitating these events, witnessing the industry’s passion, and analysing the data myself have reassured me that we’re on the right path. It’s clear that, collectively, we have what it takes to keep moving forward. 

The main takeaways, similar to our previous series, are that we often feel shy to acknowledge our knowledge or intuition, hindering our progress on critical issues like climate change. Everyone is at a different stage—individuals and organisations alike. But as a collective, we’re in the right place and ready. Besides, isn’t passion one of the most basic yet powerful tools for success?  

Lastly, it’s great to come back to think about the reasons we have to continue using the café method for these events. It’s because real action happens when the mind (knowledge) and the heart (feelings) come together. And that’s what we’re all here for. 

Let’s get to action.

UKGBC’s Climate Resilience Roadmap seeks to establish the urgent priorities, industry wide-targets, and clear metrics that we need to adapt our built environment at speed and scale.  

Following the project’s launch in October 2023, a wide range of cross-industry leaders have now joined the project to lend their voices and expertise to the common goal of catalysing more urgent, comprehensive, and cohesive action on climate resilience.  

Our partners are drawn from across the built environment’s value chain, ranging from engineering, construction and architecture through to materials experts and academics. All will bring critical perspectives to the Project that will enable our conclusions to reach across the industry and transform the way we work together.  

Hannah Giddings, Head of Climate Resilience at UKGBC said: 

We are delighted to bring together brilliant and committed colleagues towards the common goal of a more resilient built environment. That our mission has united more than 40 experts from so many different disciplines reflects the reality that none of us can achieve this alone, while greater climate resilience will transform lives and businesses across the UK. I’m grateful to all partners and excited by what we will achieve together.“

Partners have joined the Climate Resilience Roadmap as members of a Steering Group or a Task Group. The Steering Group is a smaller, strategic team of 20+ partners who will focus on the project’s strategic questions, objectives, and recommendations. The Task Group of 25+ partners will be a forward-looking forum that may focus on particular themes, ‘chapters’ or key questions that comprise the entire Roadmap. The two Groups will work closely with one another and will drive towards the same common goal of a powerful, coherent, action-oriented Climate Resilience Roadmap for the built environment.  

While the Groups will lead development of the Roadmap, they will also welcome additional consultation from the wider industry and beyond throughout the process. More information on methodology will be published in due course, including how the Climate Resilience Roadmap process will build upon the approaches used to develop UKGBC’s Net Zero Whole Life Carbon Roadmap, which was published at COP26.
