The need to economise meant that managers were more
open to waste reduction initiatives and technologies, such as virtualisation, smart printing and video conferencing. At the same time, manufacturers of business equipment continued to improve the energy efficiency of their devices.
Article 4 of the Energy Efficiency Directive requires Member States to define long-term strategies for stimulating energy efficiency of the buildings sector. The Department of Energy, Communications and Natural Resources is therefore tasked with publishing a National Renovation Strategy V.2 by 30th April 2017, covering buildings in the commercial, residential and public building sectors.
The aim of this first workshop was to explore all measures that could be taken in Ireland to move towards large-scale deep-renovation in the Public Buildings Sector.
The workshop took place in Farmleigh House on Thursday 16th June 2016.
These presentations were delivered as part of the Build Upon project (www.buildupon.eu/ireland).
The aim of the event was to explore tools to measure and promote the health and wellbeing impacts of offices and residential buildings.

The drive towards delivering a Net Zero economy is ramping up and now more than ever we need to take action in all aspects of our daily lives to reach this goal. But as lighting designers, how can we make this change when essentially specifying energy using products is what we do. So where do we start when embarking on this journey and importantly how can we limit our impact on the environment when delivering lighting projects?
Kristina will present the Society of Light and Lighting's (SLL) TM66 - 'Creating a Circular Economy in the Lighting Industry' with an accompanying metric - Circular Economy Assessment Method (CEAM). This will help everyone on their journey in creating a circular economy in the lighting industry.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

104. Customer Expectations Consumers ~60% of consumers rated environmental impact as more important than a product’s brand name. European Commission (2009) 63% of people are more likely to buy a product if they know action is being taken to reduce its carbon footprint. Carbon Trust Research (2009) 22% of consumers will actively spend more to buy green Green consumers are more 29% loyal and spend more than other consumers There is a large latent market for green products and services, which companies will be keen to exploit. 95% of consumers “willing to buy green” Deloitte (2009)
105. What is driving sustainability? There are a number of factors driving sustainability across business What should you be thinking about? Increased legislation, regulation and regulatory divers. Mirrored in a patchwork way across the world leading to significant complexities when operating across multiple jurisdictions Increased regulation Stakeholder & media pressure Increasing pressure for companies to have a sustainability strategy and share it transparently with their stakeholders Resource constraints There is an increasing awareness amongst consumer facing of the growing constraints on resources There is increasing market evidence that a sustainability programme can lead to material cost savings in some areas Cost savings Customer Expectations Customers are increasingly aware of sustainability and demand more sustainable products Disclosure Increase in voluntary reporting and participation in sustainability indices. Reporting requirements will continue to expand from carbon to all sustainability areas including supply chain management 56
107. What is driving sustainability - CEO’s are setting the pace Paul Polman, CEO Unilever, United Kingdom Maurice Levy, CEO Publicis Group France Mark Parker, CEO Nike USA “We are living in a resource-constrained world in which we need to look at fundamentally new business models. This platform is not about rhetoric. It’s about action.” “We need to walk the talk on sustainable consumption before we regain the trust of consumers” “As a CEO, if you want to plan for success you need to decouple your growth strategy from environmental impact” 58
108. Many companies are now demanding disclosure from their supply chain Disclosure “If a supplier cannot be compliant with requirements on the environment and sustainability, we’ll stop doing business with them.” John Paterson, IBM Chief Procurement Officer, 2010

140. Key Questions for the study What is the definition of a zero embodied carbon building? What strategies may be adopted to deliver a zero carbon outcome? Is zero carbon feasible without offsetting? What role does the supply chain (materials manufacturers and contractors) have in delivering the solution? How can designers help deliver real time and future visions for such a solution and what would such a store look like? Do low carbon buildings cost more? 65
141. What do we mean by embodied carbon Direct and Indirect economic data collection 66
142. What do we mean by embodied carbon Direct and Indirect economic data collection As operational efficiencies increase, the importance of embodied carbon also increases. 67
143. 3. Embodied Emissions are more important than operational 68
145. Baseline Assessment 70 The graphs above show the embodied carbon of a store over a 60year lifecycle. This shows the relative importance of raw materials (shell & Core) and maintenance (fit-out).
146. Baseline Assessment 71 Fit-Out Base Build The breakdown of materials shows the prominence of steel, concrete, aluminium and waste in the Shell & Core, and the steel, vinyl flooring and aluminium in the Fit-out.
148. Baseline Assessment 73 The graph shows the breakdown of carbon emissions associated with the notional M&S store within each year of the 60year lifecycle. The orange line illustrates the cumulative carbon emissions associated with the building.
158. A 50% reduction in embodied carbon results in an increase of approximately 7%. In time this is expected to reduce as low carbon materials become more cost effective
159. Although future and evolving technologies will make achieving 75% reduction possible, it is not presently viable to achieve further incremental reductions cost effectively82
169. Approaches to Zero Carbon Living buildings & Sequestration The use of products that either act as carbon sinks or sequester carbon over their lifecycle How? A living building is a building which absorbs more carbon over its lifetime than is emitted . The building is either constructed from organic materials that sequester carbon during their growth (e.g. timber, hemp, straw, bamboo), or man-made materials (for example, lime cements) which react with carbon dioxide through carbonation However, in order to account for the carbon sequestration, it is essential that the carbon is not re-emitted back into the environment at the end of its life, i.e. through decomposition (land filling) etc To ensure transparency and accountability, tracking/logging systems need to be implemented to adequately manage renewable materials throughout their lifecycle. 86
170. 4. Approaches to Zero Carbon Closed loop approach Closed loop approaches draw on innovative sustainability concepts such as industrial ecology, cradle to cradle design and bio mimicry to minimise and eventually reduce to zero impacts harmful to the environment. 87 Closed loop systems are a conceptual sustainable approach to managing the entire life-cycle of a product, whereby all materials not safely consumed in the use of the product are designed to be a valuable input into the same or other processes at their end of life . In this way waste is eliminated, materials never leave the M&S ecosystem and are either: a) recaptured and reused in the process of making the same or other products, or b) bio-degraded/bio-composted to become useful inputs to the broader biosphere.

173. The store will be entirely dismountable at its end of life and all components may be reused within the M&S ecosystem with no (or minimal) reprocessing. Zero Waste
180. Key recommendations for developers/designers/procurement teams Encourage supply chain engagement and innovation Incentivise use of low carbon materials (allowable solutions) Facilitate low carbon design Develop closed loop systems and materials management Develop corporate strategies around offsetting, sequestration and zero carbon 94
