Measure Up: a Data-Led Approach to Delivering Better Buildings - 1-day conference 9th October 2025
We invite you to Measure Up: a Data-Led Approach to Delivering Better Buildings — a unique conference held on the 9th October 2025 at Loughborough University, dedicated to the role of measured building performance in transforming the housing sector.

This new annual conference aims to highlight how integrating measurement into everyday business is possible without significant additional time or cost.
The conference will introduce and explore the idea of a seamless workflow. Instead of viewing measurement as a separate, time-consuming step, the sessions aim to demonstrate how it can be woven into BAU building surveys, assessments, audits and inspections.
Enhancing the overall quality of the output and insights offered.
The key message is that measurement is the key to most cost effectively delivering efficiency and quality, not a barrier or burden to it.
Through expert-led sessions, you’ll learn how measurement:
- Enhances surveys, assessments, and audits without adding significant cost or time.
- Integrates with energy models and calculators, replacing defaults with real data for more accurate results.
- Informs smarter investment decisions, reducing risk while saving money.
- Builds trust across the supply chain, empowering housing providers, retrofit markets, and new-build developments.
- Supports procurement and outcome verification, ensuring higher quality homes and long-term performance.
Our panel of speakers will include representatives from government, integrators and academia alongside real-world users demonstrating how they have embedded data into their daily workflows.
The full agenda will be published shortly.
Whether you are a housing manager, maintenance professional, or involved in retrofit delivery, this conference will give you practical insights into how measurement can become a powerful enabler — not an obstacle — to better building performance.
