Overview

 

This webinar is intended to be an introduction to sustainable construction for those working within, for and with the construction industry.  Sustainable development is now an integral to the business planning and management of organizations from a wide range of sectors.  This is particularly the case within the construction industry where there is continuing pressure to demonstrate that developments have been built according to the principles of sustainability.

We will define "sustainable construction" in engineer's terms and discuss sustainable construction techniques.  Additional topics of interest are benefits of sustainable construction, environmental management systems, and waste reduction.

The webinar will bring together the ideas of all of the participants and the group will formulate a "sustainable construction policy" which, although too limited in scope to be comprehensive, may become a thought-started for sustainability policy in your practice and projects.

The session will conclude with a question and answer session allowing participants to utilize the skills and experience of the other attendees to help explain issues surrounding this hot topic.

This webinar is a full-day, 8-hours seminar.  The schedule will include 2-10 minute breaks (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) and a 45-minute lunch break.  Please be prepared to accommodate the schedule.  It is highly suggested that participants use either a speakerphone or telephone headset for comfort during the webinar.
