3 full-days (weekly) - temporarily online using Zoom (due to Covid safety concerns)
This series of 3 full-day workshops (each one weekly) has an emphasis on low carbon retrofit.
The first looks at why the industry has to change (including the relevance of climate change); then we explain what low-carbon construction entails; and finally we demonstrate how to effectively do this.
The concluding requirement (and assessment) is to develop an Action Plan, where attendees will demonstrate their understanding of the course content by identifying sustainable build opportunities/challenges relevant to their industry/work and developing effective courses of action to tackle these.
The workshops are “classroom" based with plenty of hands-on activities.
On successful completion you will receive our Sustainable, Modern & Lean Construction (retrofit) Certificate and a Carbon Literacy Certificate issued by the Carbon Literacy Project.
Lunch and refreshments are included (unless online).
