Phil Clarke at Building Mag @zerochamp has asked me to be a  champion for the forthcoming Building magazine’s Sustainability Now virtual event taking place 13 and 14 May.

Still awaiting details, but I will be online in the discussion lounge on the 14th May and look forward to chatting with you there (and hopefuly drinking virtual champagne with Mel and others?) 

I will be in great company with fellow green bloggers:

• Lucy Pedler, an architect founder of the influential body The Green Register, which has a membership of 600 influential sustainable professionals
• Principal at green consultancy Inbuilt and green blogger Mel Starrs, who writes at Elemental
• One of the sector’s most popular figures on Twitter, blogger Su Butcher – a practice manager at architect Barefoot & Gilles who blogs at Just Practising.

A detailed agenda for the event should be available next week. In the meantime here’s a bit of a snapshot of the type of content at the show:

•  Live seminar on refurbishing existing houses with the Energy Saving Trust
• Discussions on issues such as PassivHaus design, the zero carbon definition and the CRC
• Videos from Ecobuild 
• Some content from Bioregional on their views on sustainable legislation and updates from their projects
• A survey on BREEAM 2008
