The first webinar of our Autumn series will be on Students and their
attitudes towards sustainability. The session is based on our most recent
research, which looked in depth at students, their attitudes to
sustainability and how they apply to their accommodation choices.
The context
Most people would accept that this is an important topic, given the
environmental challenges we all face. In particular and practical terms it
is likely that in the medium term there will be increasing levels of
legislation in this area for the sector to get to grips with.
For this project the AFS team set out to discover what students thought
about the topic and how it might impact on their accommodation choices. We
also wanted to understand how this might impact on landlords, agents and
PBSA operators.
The opportunity
By understanding some of these issues, there is an opportunity to
capitalise on these trends, benefiting all parties as well as behaving in a
more sustainable way. It is a timely moment to discuss these issues, as we
approach another letting season and we continue to see the growth of bills
inclusive rents and their potential negative environmental impact.
The session
The webinar will be hosted by Simon Thompson and Nick Emms and held on
Thursday 23rd of September at 2.30pm. It will last 30 mins with
some time available for questions. In addition to focusing on the research
results we will also include some observations on the start of the new
term.
The session is of course free to attend and you can sign up right here.
