Energising the Future

Meet Greg, the CEO of Sirron Holdings, a company that has always been at the forefront of sustainability. Over the years, Sirron has made great strides in reducing their carbon footprint and embracing renewable energy. In fact, during the pandemic, the company converted 95% of their energy consumption to renewable sources.

However, Greg is not one to rest on his laurels. Despite the company's impressive track record, he is acutely aware of the challenges that lie ahead, particularly with the slow uptake of renewable energy availability. And, to make matters worse, Greg has found himself facing an unexpected challenge: an old gas BBQ that threatens to undo all of Sirron's hard work.

In his upcoming R.E.E.L talk, Greg will share his experience of pursuing an ambitious sustainability goal, and the setbacks and hurdles that come with it. He will delve into the difficulties of scaling up renewable energy and the complexities of navigating an ever-changing regulatory landscape.

But perhaps most importantly, Greg will explore how Sirron is tackling the problem of the gas BBQ and what it represents in the broader context of sustainability. As he grapples with this unexpected challenge, he asks: has the world gone mad? And, more importantly, what can we do to make sure that the answer is no?

Join Greg on this thought-provoking journey, as he shares his insights and experience of building a sustainable future in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

Caine is not your average architect; he is on a mission to revolutionise the way we approach sustainable design. He believes that sustainability should not be an afterthought but rather a core element of all design projects. As he likes to say, "Sustainability isn't an add-on; it's what we do."

From simple solutons like, leasing commercial roof space for renewable energy production, businesses can create a passive income stream that can provide a stable and predictable return on investment, which can be particularly attractive if looking to diversify their revenue streams.

So why haven't we done it yet?

With a keen interest in challenges, Caine's passion for environmentally sustainable development has inspired a new wave of design and shaking the states quo and has started the revolution of redesigning industrial / Commercial and residential spaces to make them more energy-efficient and maximise the building potential.

In his upcoming R.E.E.L Talk, Caine will share his insights on how renewable energy is considered when undertaking a new project, and how adding renewables isn't something to shy away from.
