Closing thoughts.

• Not just about Energy, need to ensure we talk
  about the economic, social and environmental
  issues hand in hand Sustainability
• We want to build buildings and communities that
  people want to live in and can afford to live in,
  we therefore need to consider the most cost
  effective level of intervention (components,
  building, Site, Neighbourhood, City, Region)
• We need to talk about New and Existing buildings
• We need to share knowledge in an open and
  transparent way
