FMANZ - Facilities Management Association of New Zealand’s Post

Embarking to one of the most spectacular business trips I’ve ever made… 3 counties, 11 days, one mission: 1️⃣ Australia 🇦🇺: I’ll have the opportunity to talk at national level with the water utilities, during workshops set up by the Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA). The key topic will be mitigation of GHG emissions, specifically N2O, alongside other key topics such as treatment infrastructure maximisation and water reuse. WSAA you can’t believe how grateful we are for your support in this. And prof. Liu Ye also looking forward to exploring the many synergies we have and connecting the dots. 2️⃣ New Zealand 🇳🇿: for the first time ever, I’ll be visiting our customer Watercare Services Limited , the largest water company in the country. Also here the key topic will be nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, but we’ll also touch upon optimisation of drinking water treatment infrastructure and many other topics. Chris Thurston and Kevan Brian I am so much looking forward to it… And Chris, thanks for connecting us with WSAA. 3️⃣ Singapore 🇸🇬: final stop for multiple exciting meetings with PUB, Singapore's National Water Agency ! Topics: guess what, also N2O, but also we’ll be zooming in on the wonderful world of digitalisation and digital twins and many others… Mission digital water 💧 Ps: can you guess which gifts 🎁 I’m bringing ? See the bag I’m holding in the picture… curious who will know the answer #waterindustry #watertreatment #wastewatertreatment

It was great to visit the ARBS Exhibitions Ltd at the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) over the last few days! 🙏 Connecting with industry leaders to discuss all things #energyefficiency & #sustainabilty related and current market trends 🤝 One stand out point from those discussions is the impact the government rebate schemes have within the C&I energy industry and how they can dictate the flow of the market. 📈 With that in mind and the end of the financial year looming, how are you seeing the market?? #ARBS #EnergyEfficiency #Sustainability #NetZero

🚀Something big is coming… #CatalystsForChange Stay Tuned The project was financed within the framework of the Womentem project of the Leed Initiative, which in itself is funded by the German Federal Foreign Office. #DigitalActivism #SWANA #DigitalVoices4Change

The International Energy Agency (IEA) will hold its 9th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency on 21-22 May in Nairobi, Kenya. I was invited as a speaker and panelist on appliances' standards and labelling. The question we will be tackling in the discussions is: how do we deliver a super efficient future for the appliances? What are the policy options for developing countries? In my bag of thoughts, I have the command and control on one hand and the market based policy tools on the other hand. Do not miss, if you have been invited. Come meet 85 experts-I told you that yours truly is part of them 😀- from 20 countries, philosophizing over energy efficiency, the energy source of the zeroth kind, the first line of defense in sustainability affairs. 👉https://lnkd.in/diqX-N9x

Water:hub South-East Asia meets VIETNAM LOGISTICS MANUFACTURING NETWORKING - VLMN We have met before but never sit down and really planned something together. Finally, after many times, we can have coffee, learn about the other’s network and discuss some joint activities to enhance benefits for our members. We did exchange that Water:hub members can offer a wide range of expertise to help manufacturing companies improve water efficiency in their facilities, laying a strong foundation to meet European export standards. Logistics companies from VLMN will facilitate equipment transportation to Vietnam and the region for our members. Some joint networking events, #workshops or #excursions will benefit both 2 #networks and our members! These are a few initial #cooperative ideas; more will follow as we #collaborate further. Follow us and join our #events to become part of our network and explore opportunities in the #water, #logistics, and #manufacturing sectors. Thom Vu Le Mi Nguyen Phan

🤝 Partners behind the #LIFEBauhausingEurope project: meet Green Building Council Croatia Croatia Green Building Council was founded in 2009 as a non-profit organization for the promotion of sustainable building practices. Founders from the business and institutional sectors started to build the network in Croatia with the purpose to drive the transformation of the built environment towards sustainable growth. CGBC is built to create a platform for the implementation of green building principles, not only in Croatia, but also in the Central and Eastern European Countries, through close cooperation with the network of GBCs in neighbouring countries.
