CHALLENGES AND BARRIERS

OUR ROUTE TO ZERO DEPENDS ON SEVERAL EXTERNAL FACTORS THAT TO SOME EXTENT, ARE OUT OF OUR CONTROL:

• CLIENT BRIEFS

• GOVERNMENT POLICIES

• DESIGN CODES AND REGULATIONS

• RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS

IMAGE Whitby Wood

BUT WE CAN STILL TARGET THESE BARRIERS BY:

• LOBBYING GOVERNMENT

• FUNDING RESEARCH

• EDUCATING CLIENTS
