High Performance Sustainable Development in Government

Achieving and going beyond Sustainable Development on the Government Estate (SOGE) targets

We take you to the heart of innovation by visiting two organisations doing pioneering hands-on work in sustainability and the built environment

You can walk around ‘low carbon’ houses and see for yourself the big changes taking place in the construction industry.

We run an expert clinic on day two to help you with casework from your practice.

You will get a much clearer sense of what low carbon estates, facilities and infrastructure are possible in practice. You will be better informed at commissioning and negotiating with suppliers and contractors.

‘ I really enjoyed the course and was extremely impressed by the quality of the presentations by the three speakers. It has really taken me forward on the whole sustainability issue.’
