Editor's Notes

Welcome to Eastleigh BC Offices, and to this event. I am Tony Wright, Planning policy and Design Manager Housekeeping – location of toilets, fire exits, in event of fire procedures
In brief SISCo is about ( you can say you don’t know much about this ): Training in sustainable development for planners, designers and architects - which this event forms a part Collect examples of best practice in sustainable construction – some examples already on to tEC website To provide an online “Sustainable Planning and Purchasing Centre” where up to date and relevant information on sustainable construction and development can be accessed – essentially the development on the website where training programmes advertised and examples of best practice shown To work with UK and EU partners to drive improvements in policy and implementation of sustainable development To learn from EU partners’ tools and processes and to share UK learning with them More information at www.environmentcentre.com/SISCo or talk to the Project Manger Laura Savillewood – who is here (you can point to her) This is an EU funded programme – hence no attendance fee – record of your attendance here counts towards match-funding – enables tEC draw down funding from the EU towards the project.
All the latest news on the other sessions in the training programme, along with booking forms, will be on the SISCo website. When programmes are finalised and new dates set – updates will be circulated in the same manner as occurred for this training event, i.e. through HIPOG and the HIPOG Sub-groups and PUSH Groups (e.g. Sustainability and QP) and through attendance list for this event.
