OVERVIEW:
What do the NCC changes mean for your business?
Join a panel of your go-to colleagues in an open, interactive forum event focused on the upcoming changes to the NCC and what this means for your business. This session is an opportunity to drill down into the technical detail of what to expect, how this affects the way you design and solutions for a smooth transition, well before mandatory adoption. Energy Assessors will get an action plan to prepare for the energy efficiency aspects, and the forum will be designed for everyone to participate. Helping you navigate the NCC changes are Karl Russell, Richard Scott, David Lenkic and Keira Nicholson.
We know our membership has a million burning questions when it comes to the NCC so we're giving you the opportunity to shape this event with the information most relevant to you. Please email Sam at [email protected] with anything you'd like our panelists to discuss. Don’t be shy—all questions are welcome and we encourage a diverse topic range; we want everyone to walk away from this event with all the tools you need for a smooth, stress-free NCC transition.
