This session brings together a panel that includes an architect, a builder, a developer, a finance person, and a marketer to explore what we "know" and what we think we know about the effects of the pandemic on the home-building eco-system. We will approach this from both the builder and the buyer's perspective, but also the trades, designers and developers. This session is wide-ranging and designed to be interactive to help us all have a better grasp on what the future holds.

Learning Objectives:

Understand how the new imperatives interact with each other
Understand how Net Zero is the end game for homes and yet is the foundation for everything else
