Total Workplace Management, is the UK’s largest exhibition for facilities and estates management and is organised in association with the British Institute of Facilities Management (BIFM). The event will provide an interactive forum to source the latest products and services, network with peers and pick up top tips from FM industry experts.
Energy Solutions Expo is the UK’s fastest growing event dedicated to clean, efficient, sustainable, renewable and alternative energy solutions for business. The event is full of the latest technology, solutions and know-how, all presented in a direct and accessible way.
Companies in the UK waste £1.8 billion every year through inefficient energy consumption and business is responsible for more than 40% of the UK’s carbon emissions. However, as businesses and industry come to terms with the challenge, there is a desperate need for information resources and guidance.
The key theme of this year’s educational seminars is the “Roadmap to Sustainability”. This is a unique series of free seminars that will take delegates on a journey from designing sustainable business strategies and programmes, through to establishing ‘green’ working practices all the way to the options for encouraging suppliers and customers to think and act sustainably.
Under the headings, “Design”, “Build & Install”, “Manage & Maintain” and “Go Green”, the sessions will look at a number of key topics, delivered by industry experts under one roof.
Seminars will include:
* What does a sustainable business look like?
* The business case for sustainable FM
* Recycling and reusing waste
* Soft landings – a better way to run your buildings
* How to save energy right now
* Energy performance certificates – keeping up with the new paperwork
All visitors to the seminars will receive a password for free access to the Working Buildings online Sustainability Starter Pack, which will provide information from leading professional organisations including BIFM, CIBSE, HVCA, FETA, the National Energy Foundation and others. The pack will bring together more information on topics such as Energy Performance certificates and carbon calculators into one place so that you can build your own Sustainable Roadmap for your business.
The seminar programme is free to attend and has been described as the “ultimate resource” for those looking for the latest conservational insights.
Event director, Adrian Newton comments, “Anyone visiting The Roadmap to Sustainability at this year’s Working Buildings will walk away with all the information and resources needed to fulfil the required parts of their role, and be privy to the latest thinking on the business case for sustainable FM, legislation, techniques and ideas.”
