At Bristol Sustainability Best Practice Case StudyGo Green
Chris Dunford, the Sustainability Manager for At Bristol explains how At Bristol have won so many awards for their sustainability credentials and have become the greenest venue in Bristol.
One definition of Green jobs is that they contribute substantially to preserving or restoring environmental quality. They impact agriculture, manufacturing, research & development, administrative, and service activities. Green energy jobs are a vital type of green-collar jobs that are growing in number and have a secure future.

Overcoming Pakistan's current crisis through energy efficiency and renewable energy was the topic of a seminar supported by USAID and organized by Senator (R) Rukhsana Zuberi, chairperson of the Pakistan Engineering Council and head of the non-government organization, South Asian Women in Energy.
The Alliance's Alexander Filippov was among the experts advising Pakistani representatives on energy efficiency implementation.
Sustainable development has been a great challenge to the building and construction
industry for decades. There have been many initiatives and attempts to create sustainability for the
industry through the concept of the Green Building certificate in order to reduce the impact to
environment and society while promoting better living conditions of the people involved in the
project. This paper aims to examineall three aspects of sustainability; economy, environment and
society, in the building and construction industry by proposing new criteria for the green building
certificate. This will create opportunities for the community based handicraft building products to be
specified and purchased to be used in the modern building and construction industry and share the
economic value to the community.

Sustainability – as a conceptual framework for the organization of priorities and allocation of resources – provides a unique platform for reducing costs, identifying and managing risk, enhancing brand, and driving innovation. No other business priority offers as rich a set of benefits over time - benefits that create, enhance and preserve lasting value for all stakeholders.

Kingspan's Digital Approach to Carbon Neutrality.
On Tuesday 23 September 2014, spoke at a Conference in the Aviva Stadium, Dublin on Energy Efficiency. The event was hosted by ISO50001 Ireland and was well-attended by organisations seeking Carbon Neutrality.
Slide-deck focused on how Kingspan has digitised the challenge by collaborating with Intel and Microsoft. Availing of 8 Kingspan products, Kingspan's Head Office and Innovation Centre are now Carbon Negative.

Quest: How Lean & IPD contribute to Building Smart Energy CommunitiesMurray Guy
By turning our communities into Smart Energy Communities, we can improve energy efficiency, cut costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Canada.
So what is a Smart Energy Community?
First, a Smart Energy Community integrates conventional energy networks. That means that the electricity, natural gas, district energy, and transportation fuel networks in a community are better coordinated to match energy needs with the most efficient energy source.
Second, a Smart Energy Community integrates land use, recognizing that poor land use decisions can equal a whole lot of energy waste.
Third, a Smart Energy Community harnesses local energy opportunities.
How Lean and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) help to achieve the 6 Principles for Smart Energy Communities
1. First Reduce Energy Requirements
2. Optimize Exergy
3. Manage Heat Capture
4. Reduce Waste
5. Renewable Energy
6. Energy Delivery Systems

What is Sustainability?
“Meeting the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs” – epa.gov/sustainability
Going “GREEN”
Natural Resource Efficiency
Carbon Emission Reduction
What industry can do all of these?

Why Energy Efficiency?
Energy efficiency is meeting some of the most
difficult challenges of our time
Scarcity of resources = increasing cost
Job growth in a down economy
Energy efficiency makes business sense – EE as
an investment
International demand for knowledgeable people
