enterprise with EXECUTIVE DIRECTIONS
Executive Directions - Developing Intelligence in Green Building
Solutions is an in-house program with a number of flexible delivery
options to rapdily improve green building intelligence across your
whole organisation.
The program draws delivers up to 24 hours of rich content that
has been offered through our Practical Sustainability
professional education series since 2007; knowledge that is being
offered in-house because we know that it is not realistic to expect
one participant attending a professional program to effectively
disseminate knowledge throughout an organisation - particularly
knowledge of this calibre for designing and delivering exemplary,
sustainable building outcomes.
Executive Directions will increase the knowledge of your senior
levels and it will also prepare them to effectively pass on and
embed the knowledge within the practice and throughout the culture
of the organisation.
Topics covered include:
- Simplifying the sustainability policy
landscape- explaining how all the different green
building, energy and sustainability programs and tools mesh and
interact - which ones are mandatory and which ones can be used to
drive your business bottom line.
- How to reduce building costs: explaining
strategies to find and drive building synergy to minimise not only
operational costs but first costs also, using Integrative Design,
Integrated Cost Analysis and inverted product selection
processes;
- Building Element and Materials Eco-profiles:
Element by element explanation of the key ecological and health
impacts of key materials and configuration alternatives of every
major building component;
- Life cycle assessment (LCA)in your future:
explaining why LCA is the way for the future for describing how
projects and products perform over their life span and how LCA
based programs are leading the world in mainstreaming simple to
understand but yet incredibly detailed scientifically robust, third
party audited eco-profiles of products and projects and how LCA can
be simply and cost effectively used in everyday practice by green
building professionals and in marketing of products by
manufacturers.
