The CIBSE / ASHRAE Conference 2008 will tackle the major issues and burning topics that managers, clients, architects and planners alike all face in the fight to produce green buildings, says John Armstrong, President of the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE).
"e;The industry and the public want green buildings and they want them now,"e; the CIBSE President explained. "e;But in order to tackle this challenge, the industry needs answers to questions such as how do you provide realistic estimates of the contribution of wind turbines? How do you provide valid but compelling cost benefit analysis of low and zero carbon strategies? How do you find staff with the skills to deliver?"e;
Answers to these and other practical problems encountered in making sustainability mainstream will be provided at the CIBSE / ASHRAE conference on 29th ‐ 30th April at the Newcastle Gateshead Hilton. The conference is aimed squarely at those whose core business is making sustainability work for their clients.
Kent Peterson, President of ASHRAE, will give a comprehensive review of the US approach and the lessons we can learn, while other key speakers include Jane Carlsen, Principal Planner for the GLA and Simon Harris, Director of Cost Consultancy at Cyril Sweett. Dan Epstein, Head of Sustainable Development at the Olympic Delivery Authority will also be presenting a case study on ‘innovating, delivering and learning lessons at the Olympics"e;.
Massive discounts are available for full time CIBSE student members, while Young Engineers can take advantage of a reduced rate and all other delegates are urged to book soon to avoid disappointment.
