📁 Just a few days until we hold our webinar, "An introduction to circular economy in the built environment." Drawing from BRE’s world-leading research and knowledge, our upcoming webinar explores the concept of a #circulareconomy in the #builtenvironment and its value in promoting resource efficiency and sustainability. What will attendees gain? - An understanding of key definitions and principles related to circular economy concepts. - Awareness of the importance of transitioning from a linear to a circular economy model. - Insight into real-world examples of circular economy practices in the built environment. This session is aimed at built environment professionals and organisations, including #construction, #architecture, #engineering, #realestate, facilities management, manufacturing, and #infrastructure companies. It may also be of interest to policymakers, councils, and universities. Speakers include: - Polly Wilkinson, Head of BRE Academy. - Kaie Small-Warner, BRE Head of Responsible Business. - Stuart Blofeld, #SmartWaste BRE Training Lead. - Alejandro Romero, BRE Principal Consultant: Resource Sustainability & #EmbodiedCarbon. - flavie lowres, Principal Consultant – Sustainable Products. 🗓 26 November 2024, 10:30am-11:30am; register here: https://lnkd.in/ec3frgF2 #webinar #sustainable #circularity #netzero

📄 We’re delighted to announce that our #BREEAM Infrastructure Term Contracts Top-Up course is now available in Norwegian. 🌍 The Term Contracts scheme assesses civil engineering, and public realm works undertaken through contracts covering work in a geographical or operational area over several years. Using this scheme can help cut costs, while increasing efficiency to proactively identify and manage environmental risks. 📁 The BREEAM Infrastructure Term Contracts Top-Up course is designed for existing Projects assessors to upskill and become Term Contracts assessors. It introduces the key differences between the schemes in terms of scope and technical content to confidently apply your existing knowledge to BREEAM Infrastructure Term Contracts. With thanks to Grønn Byggallianse whose collaboration made this possible. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/ejPvkJxG #builtenvironment #training #construction #sustainability #civilengineering

📺 With a focus on best practices and #sustainability at the forefront, BRE Academy training courses enable individuals and organisations to address skill gaps and drive the industry forward. 🔊 "The Academy gathers all of the insights and research, the innovation and puts that into our training products.

📄 When new buildings are constructed or extensions are added to existing ones in high #radon areas, UK Building Regulations require protective measures. This is to ensure that buildings are designed to minimise radon exposure and protect occupants' health. The extent of the measures is guided by the #UKHSA radon map. The level of protection - ranging from no measures to basic or full protective measures - depends on the probability of high radon levels. Basic radon protection is a continuous, damp-proof membrane that covers the footprint of the building, modified and extended to form a gas-tight barrier between the building and the ground. For areas where there is an elevated radon risk, full radon protection is needed. This consists of a radon membrane across the footprint of the building supplemented by provision for subfloor depressurisation or ventilation (either a radon sump or a ventilated subfloor void). 📁 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eaHHm_Xm #RadonProtection #builtenvironment #construction #buildingsafety #BREAcademy

📄 Last week, we attended our third successful nima virtual conference, where visitors, speakers and exhibitors interacted in a unique immersive environment. 🌎 This free event explored whole-life information management and digital transformation, looking at how data can be used to help create and manage better whole-life outcomes across the natural and #builtenvironment.   Featuring presentations, networking and discussions on encouraging data-driven decision making, architects, engineers, contractors and facilities managers visited our virtual to learn about our industry-leading training.
