World Green Building Week comes to Scotland!
Posted : September 9, 2011 by John G, Category: events
World Green Building Week is held annually to highlight the importance of sustainable buildings for businesses, communities and individuals across the world. Each year, international Green Building Councils and their members are encouraged to co-ordinate activities and hold events that reflect what sustainability means to them.
IES, Buro Happold and Archtecture+Design Scotland have got together and decided it was about time we held such an event in our neck of the woods! So for the first time ever, a WGBW event will take place in Scotland. “Environmental Modelling for a Low Carbon Scotland” will take place on Monday 19th September at The Lighthouse in Glasgow, from 18.00 – 20.00.
The evening will kick off with a drinks reception and a presentation from Buro Happold on the role of energy & environmental modelling in delivering greener buildings, including insights into a number of Scottish projects including the new Glasgow Riverside Museum and the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum.
The event is not only an excuse to drink wine and eat nibbles (which of course will be provided!). But also an opportunity for the different elements of the building design community to come together and discuss what is happening in our industry.
We will be coming up with questions to get the debate flowing, and we want to hear your views! Try these two on for starters…
What’s the biggest sustainably challenge you’re facing in Scotland?
What’s your top sustainability goal?
Urban Realm have also provided us with a question for you to discuss…
How best can Scotland’s existing buildings be retro-fitted to meet 21st century environmental standards?
If you would like to suggest a question or wish to give a reply to one listed above, just use the #tag - #LowCO2Scot11 or leave a comment on this post.
