The government's chief scientific advisor, Sir David King, will deliver the keynote address at the CIBSE National Conference in September.
His speech will focus on creating the environment for delivery of sustainable construction.

Sir David heads the Office of Science and Technology (OST), within the DTi. He is one of the UK's leading advocates of the need to mitigate climate change by reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

The CIBSE Conference is focusing on a practical approach to making buildings sustainable.

Papers have been selected on tough criteria and have to offer real solutions to the implementation and delivery of sustainable, energy efficient buildings.

No previously presented material will be permitted this year so all information will be cutting-edge and unique to this event.

There will be many more papers on energy and sustainability at the conference with over fifty expert speakers and a full technical tour programme taking in some of the major building developments in the Docklands area and other parts of east London.

The two day CIBSE National Conference takes place on 29-30 September, at the Britannia International Hotel, Canary Wharf.
