SGBC Seminar: Exploring Nuclear Energy for an Evolving Built Environment – Strategies, Constraints, Capability Building

Nuclear power has the potential to serve as a transformative catalyst in the decarbonisation of the built environment. Beyond electricity generation, it can also provide thermal applications, presenting new possibilities for how buildings, infrastructure, and industrial assets consume and manage energy. 

This SGBC Seminar, supported by HY M&E Engineering Consultancy, will explore the evolving role of nuclear energy in advancing a low-carbon built environment. Beginning with an overview of the development and evolution of nuclear technologies, this session aims to explore potential pathways for national deployment, and outline how these can potentially align with national goals and strategies. A key focus will be on the practical considerations for stakeholders in the built environment, including the implications for on-premise nuclear power integration.

Beyond theoretical potential, the seminar will address the tangible milestones needed to realise behind-the-meter nuclear solutions for energy-intensive facilities such as data centers. By analysing the interplay between project development, national strategy and deployment, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of what is truly required to integrate nuclear power into the future of the built environment.
