# Event Details - **Event Name**: MEASURE UP 2026: Delivering the promise - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 17 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 am – Thu, 17 Sep, 2026 at 04:30 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: The building performance conference for people who want to know what works in the real world.About this EventBuildings are full of promises. Measure Up is about finding out whether they’re being kept.Lower energy bills. Warmer homes. Better ventilation. Successful retrofit. Net zero. Healthy indoor environments.We design, specify, invest and build with these outcomes in mind. But once the drawings, models and assessments are finished, how do we know the building is actually delivering them?Measure Up 2026: Delivering the Promise is for people who care about how buildings perform in the real world.Whether you're responsible for homes, designing buildings, delivering retrofit, specifying improvements, assessing performance or trying to make better decisions with building data, Measure Up brings together people facing the same fundamental challenge:How do we move from assuming performance to knowing it?A conference grounded in the real worldBuilding performance isn't an abstract technical issue.It's the resident wondering why their supposedly efficient home is still expensive to heat.It's the housing provider deciding where limited retrofit budgets will have the greatest impact.It's the designer wanting to know whether carefully considered details survived construction.It's the retrofit professional trying to understand what a building really needs before recommending an intervention.And it's the organisation being asked to demonstrate that investment has actually delivered the promised outcome.At Measure Up, we'll explore how measurement, evidence and feedback can help answer those questions.What will you take away?Expect practical conversations about the things that matter when you're working with buildings every day:What can we actually measure, and what can it tell us?Where is the gap between predicted and real performance?How can better evidence improve retrofit decisions?How do we know whether an intervention has actually worked?What does good building performance look like for the people occupying the building?How can measurement help us manage risk, demonstrate quality and spend money more effectively?How are changes to policy, standards and industry practice making measured performance increasingly important?You'll hear from people working across building performance, housing, retrofit, design, research and policy - with evidence, experiences and lessons that can be applied beyond the conference room.Less assumption, more evidence.The built environment has become very good at predicting how buildings should perform. It has also got increasingly profficient at understanding how they actually perform.But what does that mean for the real world?It means closing the loop between design, construction, occupation and improvement. It means finding problems earlier. Learning what works. Challenging assumptions when the evidence tells us something different. And ultimately creating buildings that deliver better outcomes for the people who live and work in them.That's what Delivering the Promise is about.Who should attend?Measure Up is for anyone whose decisions affect the performance of buildings, including people working in:Housing and asset management • Retrofit • Architecture and design • Building services • Energy assessment • Sustainability and net zero • Building surveying • Construction • Building control • Research and academia • Local and central government • Building performance testing and measurementYou don't need to be a measurement specialist.You just need to care whether buildings work as well in reality as we say they do.Join the conversationCome to the University of Nottingham on 17 September 2026 for a day of ideas, evidence, practical learning and conversations with people who share an interest in making buildings perform better.You'll leave with new perspectives, new connections and, most importantly, ideas you can take back into your own projects and buildings.6 hours CPD • Expert speakers • Practical insight • Exhibition • NetworkingAgenda and formatThe day will centre around an authoritative and informative conference agenda, which will be further supported by a carefully curated exhibition designed to encourage the wider conversation to keep flowing both on the day and in the weeks after.The agenda can be seen below.Agenda🕑: 09:00 AM - 10:00 AMRegistration🕑: 10:00 AM - 10:15 AMWelcome, housekeepingHost: Tanya Jane🕑: 10:15 AM - 10:30 AMThe evolution of measured performance in policy and where we go nextHost: Alex Moseley, The SEA🕑: 10:30 AM - 10:45 AMThe journey of airtightness and the University of NottinghamHost: Christopher Wood, University of Nottingham🕑: 10:45 AM - 11:00 AMDelivering on the promiseHost: Richard Jack, Build Test Solutions🕑: 12:10 PM - 12:25 PMThe importance of U-values and how to use them effectivelyHost: Prof. Richard Fitton, University of Salford🕑: 12:25 PM - 12:40 PMMeasuring the thermal performance of buildings: a pivotal momentHost: Prof. David Allinson, Loughborough University🕑: 12:25 PM - 12:40 PMSetting the Standard, closing the loop: BS40101 updateHost: Kerry Mashford, OBE, Interfacing🕑: 01:55 PM - 02:10 PMThe Welsh Heritage Decarbonisation Pilot - Deploying Heat3DHost: Seb Laan Lomas, Architype🕑: 02:10 PM - 02:25 PMDelivering high quality affordable new build homesHost: James Parker, Clarion Housing🕑: 02:40 PM - 02:55 PMUnlocking building performance insights at scaleHost: Josh Cooper, Hildebrand🕑: 02:55 PM - 03:10 PM20 years on from the introduction of airtightness testingHost: Stuart Oakes, Stroma Built Environment🕑: 03:30 PM - 03:45 PMWrap-up, thanks, CLOSE - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/nottingham/measure-up-2026-delivering-the-promise/100001992571635400 - **Event Categories**: business, conferences, performances, exhibitions, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 7 hours 30 minutes - Location: University of Nottingham - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 45, max: 45, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Nottingham - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: University of Nottingham - **lat**: 52.941537 - **long**: -1.1891251 - **full address**: University of Nottingham, Engineering Science Learning Centre (ESLC), Nottingham, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: MEASURE UP 2026: Delivering the promise - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/04a608d4a332bc94865070699101be9da2b7cf54ded6166180d11a0709a04817-rimg-w1200-h600-dc184675-gmir.jpg?v=1783323094 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is MEASURE UP 2026: Delivering the promise being held? - **A:** MEASURE UP 2026: Delivering the promise takes place on Thu, 17 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 am to Thu, 17 Sep, 2026 at 04:30 pm at University of Nottingham, Engineering Science Learning Centre (ESLC), Nottingham, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing MEASURE UP 2026: Delivering the promise? - **A:** MEASURE UP 2026: Delivering the promise is organized by Build Test Solutions. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
