MEASURE UP 2026: Proving the promise
About this Event
Build Test Solutions Conference 2026: Proving the Promise
Policy is raising expectations. Measurement is making them achievable.
The UK is entering a new era for the built environment. The Warm Homes Plan, Future Homes Standard, Building Safety Act and wider retrofit agenda all promise better performing buildings, healthier homes, greater consumer protection and improved value for public investment.
But promises alone don't improve buildings.
To deliver these ambitions, we need better evidence, better data and better decisions. Measurement, testing and monitoring are no longer niche technical activities. They are becoming essential tools for everyone involved in designing, delivering, managing and improving buildings.
Join Build Test Solutions and industry leaders for a one-day conference exploring how objective building performance measurement is transforming the way we work. Discover how proven technologies are enabling organisations to target investment more effectively, improve project outcomes, reduce risk, validate quality and demonstrate compliance, all through robust, real-world evidence.
Throughout the day we'll explore:
- The policy landscape and why measurement is becoming increasingly important.
- How building performance technologies have evolved and what they can deliver today.
- The opportunities created by objective, data-led decision making.
- Real-world case studies showing how measurement is already improving outcomes across housing, retrofit, compliance and asset management.
Whether you're a housing provider, local authority, developer, architect, energy assessor, retrofit professional, contractor, consultant or policy maker, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of how measurement can help you move beyond assumptions and deliver buildings that genuinely perform.
Because better buildings shouldn't just be promised. They should be proven.
