UWE Bristol has revealed the programme for its next Digital Construction Climate Nexus event on 20 June.
The UWE Bristol event includes speakers and presentations from the likes of nima, Symetri, Morta, Ridge and Partners and Vinci Building.
Ahmed Hagras, co-programme leader for the MSc BIM and senior lecturer in BIM at UWE Bristol, told BIMplus: “As the built environment faces increasing climate challenges, we must leverage the full potential of digital construction. This event creates space for collaboration, innovation, and leadership, bringing together those ready to act. It’s about more than tools; it’s about transforming mindsets, practices and outcomes for a sustainable future.

Their involvement will help drive discussions on practical implementations, policy directions and emerging best practices for a more sustainable built environment.”
Nima vice-chair Fiona Moore will deliver an update on the work of nima and the GIIG (formerly the Government & Industry Interoperability Group, now part of nima). Morta CEO Mo Shana’a will deliver a presentation entitled ‘Information requirements around carbon and environmental’. Symetri head of consulting Steve Rudge will answer the question: Does digital delivery guarantee a sustainable future?
In the afternoon breakout sessions, Mike Ford, senior associate at Ridge and Partners, will deliver a case study focused on unlocking net zero through streamlined retrofit management. His colleague Mike Edwards, a partner at Ridge, will reveal how the practice is using a proprietary technology stack to simulate and automate detailed roof inspections, 3D models and infrared surveys of social housing stock at scale.
And Vinci Building lead digital engineer Akin Akande will deliver a presentation about robotics in construction.
