Last week my Beca colleague, Richard Forbes and I, alongside LT McGuinness Ltd.'s Sustainability Manager Ben Cannon had the privilege of sharing our experience of designing and constructing low carbon buildings in Aotearoa. Big thanks to Priority One Western Bay of Plenty for hosting and sponsoring the event. There was plenty of questions which is always a good sign of interest in this important topic 🙂. Ben, Richard and I took the audience through: - Current government requirements around carbon and how to use the NZGBC Green Star rating tool - Simple, cost-effective low carbon solutions to adopt to and when to use them through the design stages - How to measure carbon reduction throughout the building's life cycle - How to implement carbon reduction solutions during construction and further reduce impacts through waste diversion and procurement pathways. As mentioned above the goal is to share knowledge so that everyone in the building industry can get on an even playing field, so keeping in that spirit I've attached my slides below. If you do have any questions please reach out to me or my colleague Phoebe Moses. #design and #construct for #low #carbon
