Working alongside partners Canary Wharf Group, Land Securities and Marks &amp; Spencer, the lab aims to identify and address the systematic challenges that businesses face in the built environment sector.<\/p>\n<p>It is hoped the lab will enable the development of innovative and highly sustainable solutions. These will be discovered in an open innovation format, which enables participating organisations to work on common challenges collaboratively.<\/p>\n<h3>Collaboration has previously been difficult<\/h3>\n<p>Innovation is often avoided in the built environment industry due to the perceived risks, particularly surrounding intellectual property issues. However, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/uk-gbc-retrofit-focus-autumn-statement\/28821\" target=\"_blank\">UK-GBC<\/a> hopes it has put these concerns to bed by addressing these issues up front.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-29558 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5063-1.jpg\" alt=\"innovation lab\" width=\"410\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5063-1.jpg 984w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5063-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5063-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5063-1-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5063-1-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5063-1-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/>Head of Leadership and Innovation at UK-GBC Cat Hirst said: \u201cResearch and Development levels across our industry are painfully low; the UK currently only spends \u00a343m on construction R&amp;D. The risks to a single company of investing in developing a solution for such a high-cost industry is often seen as prohibitive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we desperately need to find ways of working together to achieve radical change if we are to challenge business as usual and transition to a sustainable way of working.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt UK-GBC we\u2019re seeking to catalyse this change by using our unique position to convene our member organisations to work together to address the issues our industry faces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to ensure there is the time, space, and structure for open innovation to occur for the built environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Innovation Lab is not just about finding one solution to one problem, it\u2019s about fostering a more open and collaborative approach to problem solving as an industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to build the capacity of our industry to innovate and find the right approach to being creative and collaborative within a commercial setting.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Breakthrough challenge<\/h3>\n<p>The lab started last month with a workshop on identifying the \u2018breakthrough challenge\u2019. The UK-GBC is working with the Lead Partners and thought leaders from its own membership to explore future trends, environmental and social challenges, as well as areas that are holding businesses back. The nine-month programme initially highlighted challenges surrounding climate change resilience, resource use, shifting demographics, technological advancement and health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-29559 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5119.jpg\" alt=\"innovation lab\" width=\"411\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5119.jpg 884w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5119-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5119-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5119-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5119-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5119-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 411px) 100vw, 411px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The next workshop will be on 1 February.
