The SDF welcomes LETI (Low Energy Transformation Initiative) to its growing alliance of leading organisations dedicated to high performance sustainable buildings.
LETI is a voluntary network of over 1,000 built environment professionals, working together to put the UK and the planet on the path to a zero carbon future. Their vision is to understand and clarify what this means in the built environment and develop the actions needed to meet the UK climate change targets.
LETI has already published a series of guides, including:
- Climate Emergency Design Guide
- Embodied Carbon Primer and embodied carbon targets,
- Climate Emergency Retrofit Guide.
- Client Guide for Net Zero Carbon Buildings
- Further guidance on the circular economy, hydrogen and a variety of opinion pieces.
LETI’s plans for 2023 include
We are delighted to welcome LETI as part of the SDF Alliance. They bring a huge amount of energy, enthusiasm and expertise about the delivery of net zero carbon buildings, which will be critical to the UK’s progress towards its net zero built environment targets for 2030 and 2050. There are great synergies between LETI and the other SDF Alliance organisations and we look forward to working together to drive significant change.
