Built Environment

IET Built Environment champions the physical environments that people need to work, rest and play - offices, homes, services and open spaces. We focus on opportunities for engineering and technology.

Bringing together experts from a range of professional disciplines across industry, academia and government, we deliver programmes of activity, inspired by issues of the day and innovation, from retrofit to new build and beyond.

The 48VDC Realisation Forum

There are two electrical energy worlds, on-grid and off-grid. The world that is on-grid has access to convenience that 100 years ago would have been considered miraculous. The world that is off-grid has to make do with amenities citizens of developed countries now would consider challenging. This hub brings together resources, people and organisations who can make the transition from no electricity to plentiful, reliable, affordable electricity smooth.

In this EngShort we discuss the need for a new electrical ecosystem in the off-grid world as there are 500 million people with an unreliable national grid.

We are advocating for the development of a global VDC ecosystem.
