Specifying Sustainable Outcomes

ON DEMAND

We know from our latest research report that specifiers want to select more sustainable products, but that this can be difficult when sustainability data isn't always provided.

Join our next webinar with Golnaz Ighany and Julia Yao from BDP and James Fiske, the chair of the Built Environment Carbon Database (BECD), to explore how high-quality product data can lead to more sustainable projects.

The webinar will explore what sustainability data specifiers need including EPDs, how construction product manufacturers can improve the product data they provide to specifiers, and how specifiers can access all of the data they need in one place.

Lee Jones, Head of Sustainability at Byggfakta Group, will also participate in the webinar. Lee will explain how NBS, as part of the wider Byggfakta Group, is responding to the industry drive for sustainable product data, and how we are helping the industry to achieve sustainable outcomes.

Dr Stephen Hamil, Innovation Director at NBS (chair)

Golnaz Ighany, Sustainability Director and Julia Yao, Senior Sustainability Consultant at BDP 

James Fiske, CEO at BCIS and chair of the BECD
