This document discusses the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA). It is the leading green building authority in South Africa, established in 2007. The GBCSA promotes green building practices through membership, education, certification, and advocacy. There has been significant growth in green building certifications in South Africa. Data demonstrates that green buildings have lower operating costs, higher returns, and increased productivity for occupants compared to traditional buildings. The opportunities in the green building sector are immense given factors like electricity and water shortages, savvy tenants, environmental awareness, and the convergence of these trends.

Lifecycle of a Service Project (Part 1): Overview and IntroductionRotary International
These slides are adapted from a five-part webinar series to support the Rotary family in producing sustainable service projects.
The series highlights different strategies, best practices, and Rotary resources available to help clubs and districts undertake successful, sustainable service initiatives.
In these slides from the first webinar (part 1 in the series), recorded on 24 September, we helped our audience to:
• Understand the stages of a service project, and the importance of each
• Learn how service projects help support Rotary’s strategic plan
• Hear real-life examples of Rotarian service projects, and lessons learned
A recording of this webinar session are available at www.rotary.org/webinars.

Chair: Steve Kennett, security director, Jisc.
The UK education and research sectors have extensive international partnerships with their peers overseas. New scientific instruments such as the Square Kilometre Array and developments such as Brexit are likely to increase the institutional requirement for enhanced digital services to locations overseas.
This will require increased collaboration amongst the providers of the campus, national, and international networks and other e-infrastructures. In this session we will look at ways in which Jisc and its international peers are working to connect the global education and research communities that they serve.

Sachpazis:Terzaghi Bearing Capacity Estimation in simple terms with Calculati...Dr.Costas Sachpazis
Terzaghi's soil bearing capacity theory, developed by Karl Terzaghi, is a fundamental principle in geotechnical engineering used to determine the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. This theory provides a method to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of soil, which is the maximum load per unit area that the soil can support without undergoing shear failure. The Calculation HTML Code included.

The building shown is Nedbank Phase II in Sandton which received a 4 Star Green Star SA – Office v1 rating Design / As Built . This was the first Green Star SA certification in the country
This slide aims to illustrate the relationships between the various Green Star SA rating Tools.
The Design / As Built rating ensures that the building owner puts in place at design stage the attributes of the building that inform good environmental performance.
Energy & Water Efficient Systems are specified, spaces are designed for optimal Indoor Environmental Quality, etc.
Tenants who choose to tenant such a building find them selves with a brilliant starting point. One where they can now design their fitout to complement the groundwork put in place, making it significantly easier to achieve an Interiors rating.
Tenants will receive much benefit from the base building when targeting Interiors, e.g. energy efficiency of base building, daylight, views, etc.
There is a lot more that the tenant can influence however… Furniture specification, space planning, lighting layouts, equipment etc. Once addressing these issues, the building truly is designed and built to perform well!
But what if those well designed systems are operated poorly? What if they are not maintained? What about operational greening? This is where the Existing Building Performance comes in. It is the final acid test….
Actual building performance is measured and benchmarked.
Operating policies and plans for things like waste management, green cleaning, etc. are assessed
Buildings and tenancies that are designed with ‘green attributes’ in mind are at a great advantage to perform well here, but only if they are operated properly…
EMPHASISE HOWEVER THAT INTERIORS & EBP RATINGS CAN BE ACHIEVED IN ANY BUILDING, NOT ONLY A RATED ONE.
What is important to note on this slide is the certifications done this year in comparison to last year, we see a clear upward escalation of number of buildings being certified you
