The Sustainable High Street What does it mean? What might the elements be? How is my town or city centre doing on this issue? What more could we do? What great case studies are out there we can draw on. IPM has brought together a really strong panel of speakers from our professional network of place leaders and managers to share insights in a free webinar next week. 📅 Wednesday 25th September ⏲️ 14:00 - 15:30 Themes will include: 🟧  The issues facing the #highstreet in terms of its buildings and the need to meet net-zero objectives. Should we rebuild or retrofit? What is the case for conversion to alternative uses;   🟧 Should our focus be on site materials and lighting, transport options, air quality, green infrastructure, or the people that live, visit and work there? What actions do we need to take and how will we know if we're making a positive impact;   🟧 Business Improvement Districts and Sustainability – what is their role? We’ll discuss research into the work of BIDs in this field to rank the importance of sustainability, to identify barriers to doing more and to note help that the industry could provide to support BIDs;   🟧 Does your high street have any local food experiences to offer? We’ll explore #sustainable #placemaking and food in town centres, and how bringing local food systems to the high street can contribute to sustainable urban development.

One of the reasons I love what I do! Facility managers can reduce the negative effects that existing buildings have on the environment and improve employee well-being while doing it in a way that rewards the investment financially. 💡 Natural Light An example of one of many “no-cost” activities that are part of sound sustainable FM practices is harnessing the power of natural light. Achieving the ideal balance between natural daylight and artificial lighting systems may directly affect employees’ health and general happiness, which is one of the key factors determining an organization’s performance. ♻ Building-Specific Green Policies The introduction of building-specific green policies and frameworks can compel the site team to guarantee the delivery of services with a high level of sustainability for both hard and soft services. The benefits of green policies can be observed in the usage of biodegradable products, the removal of plastic, the recycling of garbage, and other ways. Environmentally conscious organizations and people make sure their facilities will be functional in the future. 💥 Technology Utilization Did you know that during a building’s life, three to four times as much money will be spent on maintenance and operations as on the building’s initial construction? Facility managers’ utilization of technology can significantly advance sustainability goals that go beyond the commonly used implemented procedures. Below is a picture comparing our building's reception area. The top picture was taken when I started working as a Building Manager. The bottom picture was taken less than a year later. Feel free to share your thoughts. #facilities #propertymanagement #workplace #wellbeing
