As cities continue to evolve and expand, the need for new development to be #sustainable becomes increasingly important. In response, a number of #sustainability standards from the U.S. Green Building Council, International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), BOMA International, and more have emerged, serving as benchmarks for constructing or retrofitting spaces that are environmentally responsible and socially beneficial.

Green building certifications are more than accolades—they are benchmarks for sustainable innovation in the built environment. From energy efficiency and water conservation to occupant wellbeing, certifications like LEED, BREEAM, and WELL set the global standard for environmentally responsible design and operation. Join us as we delve into the journey toward a sustainable and prosperous future, where every certified building contributes to a greener, healthier world. Watch now to learn more about how green certifications are reshaping urban landscapes. #Sustainability #GreenBuilding #EcoInnovation #BuiltEnvironment #ECOBUILD

World Green Building Council Week 2024 Countdown! We recently caught up with our green buildings expert Patience Ruvimbo Muyambo on her #Building the #transition this past year with the company and this what she had to say: Over the past 10 Months I have had the opportunity to assess buildings and train people on #Green #Building principles. Below are some of the things I found interesting in my interactions: #Sustainability gap: While the topic is hot, many don't know how to translate it into tangible actions. Learning about Green Building principles allows anyone to be able to contribute to the change that is needed and live more sustainable. These seemingly little actions in more efficient energy and water use and better waste management when compounded have a great impact. Legislation vs. passion: Sustainability efforts are often driven by regulations rather than a genuine desire for change. Most organisations are trying to comply with demands of regulators and funders leading to a willingness to only do the bare minimum even when they have the capacity to do more. Developing nations challenge: Building greener is crucial, but outdated regulations hinder progress. There is slow adoption of legislation in the built environment that requires that we build more sustainably. One of my greatest fears is that we will develop, but unsustainably then end-up with the ‘lock-in’ effects of infrastructure, technology and product design choices similar to those made by industrialised countries post WWII. There is need for us to train current and upcoming professionals and simultaneously lobby for the necessary changes in legislation. But there's hope! By combining innovative solutions, education, and policy advocacy, we can create a more sustainable future. Are you ready to join the movement?
