BRE's new Resilience14 event will focus on positive and practical ways to defend the UK's built environment against weather related damage.
Being held at Olympia London on 26-27 November, Resilience14 is a two-day, content driven conference and exhibition, offering in-depth coverage of the solutions to the challenges posed to the built environment by the UK's more extreme weather.
BRE has launched the event with a new website www.resilience14.com.
The winter of 2013-14 again emphasised the vulnerability of the built environment to storms and floods. It was the latest in a string of bad weather that has hit the UK in recent years and indicates that what were once considered once-in-a-lifetime events, could now become regular occurrences. Extreme seasonal temperatures, with harsher winters and drier summers, also pose serious risks to the health and wellbeing of buildings and their occupants.
This two day exhibition showcases the technologies and the solutions that can protect and mitigate against flooding, storms and extreme temperatures. Supported by seminars and interactive sessions, the aim is to provide visitors with an understanding of resilience in the context of insurance and risk, design and build, health and wellbeing and repair, rebuild and rehabilitation of the built environment.
Informed by the BRE pedigree of independent, cutting edge research across every aspect of the built environment, Reslience14 follows the highly acclaimed BRE Britain Under Water conference, held earlier this year. This event attracted over 120 delegates and hosted speakers from the Environment Agency, DEFRA and AXA.
