Good Homes. Beyond Net Zero

Driving the Future of Sustainable, Healthy and Resilient Homes

London, UK: 28 January 2026. The Good Homes Alliance (GHA) and South East Consortium (SEC) are proud to host Good Homes – Beyond Net Zero, a full-day conference at the British Library Knowledge Centre in London on 28 January 2026. The event brings together leading voices from across the built environment to explore bold, practical solutions for delivering net zero, low-embodied carbon, healthy and climate resilient homes.

It will convene over 200 delegates from local authorities, housing associations, academia, industry, consultancies, government departments and solution providers.
