Product and innovation pitches from Innovation Partners
13.15-13.30 Pitch 1 Aico: Smart Homes for a Connected Future
Description of the talk: Targeting decarbonisation and Net-Zero is resulting in other issues occurring throughout homes across the UK. Aico | HomeLINK can not only assess thermal performance, providing PAS 2035 compliance for retrofits but also remotely monitor and visualise an indoor environment, detecting these various issues and risks, and enabling early intervention.
Sam Collier, Ethics & Sustainability Lead of HomeLINK, Aico
13.45 -14.00 Pitch 2 ACO: Habitat Matters - connecting communities to nature and the urban built environment
Our disconnection from nature is exacerbating a physical and mental health crisis. We have neglected our responsibility to protect the natural systems we rely on, which are essential for our survival, this has proliferated the Climate and Ecological emergency.
We must reconnect the Human Physiology, the physical environment and design built environment habitats that enable the prosperity of natural systems. Demonstrating societal gains through our interaction with nature.
How can a map for Built Environment ‘Habitats’ connect people to nature through biological observations and contribute to national social science? How can this enhance our mental and physical wellbeing?
Adam Cane, Sustainability, ACO Technologies Plc
14.15-14.30 Pitch 3 Soprema: Generation Zero – natural timber solutions for retrofit and new build
Soprema and ECOsystems Technologies Limited have joined forces to offer a range of façade and roofing solutions offering excellent thermal and acoustic performance with the benefit of very low embodied carbon credentials.
