Event Description
Professional Competency: Environmental Stewardship & Sustainability.
New Zealand's carbon emissions are over 6.5 times higher than they need to be and this year the Climate Change Commission will issue its first carbon budget. As we see industry sectors start to reduce their carbon emissions in earnest, facilities managers will play an important role in influencing and managing carbon emissions of building operations.
This presentation by the New Zealand Green Building Council introduces you to an important process that will help you do this. It will set out the new carboNZero Certification for building operations, explaining how it works, where to start, and how FMs can assess commercial, retail, industrial, hotels and other buildings to help gain carboNZero certification. (The carboNZero Certification was developed in partnership with Toitu Envirocare, formerly Enviro-Mark Solutions).
There will be time to discuss a few real-world scenarios from attendees during the presentation and you are invited to bring along information for this.
For offices, you will need to know
For non-offices, the same as above, except item 1)

This National Breakfast Seminar aligns with the FMANZ core competency: Environmental Stewardship & Sustainability aimed to provide you with further knowledge of contemporary trends in sustainable FM practice.
The morning will kick off with a light breakfast and catch up with colleagues, followed by the presentation by NZGBC.

For offices, you will need to know
1) if they meet 4 star Nabersnz
2) if they will be off fossil fuels by 2025- back up diesel is fine
3) what their leakage emissions are from refrigerants
4) if they have potable water use figures
5) if they have waste figures (as in what goes in the rubbish bins)

1) they need to know if they can achieve 8 stars from 20 the Green star performance methodology. I.e. is the building at least at a decent base energy efficiency.
