SUMMARY:Introduction to Embodied Carbon Calculation
DESCRIPTION:This free webinar will introduce attendees to the concept of embodied carbon calculation in buildings\, Environmental Product Declarations\, Life Cycle Assessment and Life Cycle Costing\, and how this can be linked to Building Information Modelling. \nThe Irish Green Building Council has launched an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) programme as a first step towards mainstreaming the Life Cycle Assessment of buildings where the impacts of each stage are considered. EPD provide the data that enables the calculation of embodied Carbon and other impacts associated with the construction of buildings. EPD\, embodied carbon calculation and Life cycle assessment follow European standards EN 15804 and EN 15978.

She is also a developer of One Click LCA– the highest rated LCA tool for BREEAM. She teaches yearly approx. 200 certification professionals\, other sustainability experts and university students around Europe to use building LCA. \nPat Barry is the CEO of the Irish Green Building Council.

SUMMARY:ISO Ireland
DESCRIPTION:International Standards make things work! Providing world-class specifications for products\, services and systems\, to ensure quality\, safety and efficiency. They are instrumental in facilitating international trade. \nDeveloping this unique event for over 3 years\, ISO Ireland 2018 will look at a combination of four symbiotic ISO standards\, including; 9001\, 14001\, 45001 & 50001. This multi-stream event will encompass over 36 speakers across 8 streams and gather over 750 business professionals considering the implementation/migration to these standards: Quality\, Environmental\, OHS and Energy. \nISO 9001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. It is the most popular standard in the ISO 9000 series and the only standard in the series to which organizations can certify. \nISO 14001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for an effective environmental management system (EMS). It provides a framework that an organization can follow\, rather than establishing environmental performance requirements. \nPart of the ISO 14000 family of standards on environmental management\, ISO 14001 is a voluntary standard that organizations can certify to. Integrating it with other management systems standards\, most commonly ISO 9001\, can further assist in accomplishing organizational goals. \nISO 45001 is a new international standard for occupational health and safety (OH&S)\, providing a framework for managing the prevention of death\, work-related injury and ill health\, with the intended outcome of improving and providing a safe and healthy workplace for workers and persons under an organization’s control. \nThe ISO 50001 energy management standard is a proven framework for industrial facilities\, commercial facilities\, or entire organizations to manage energy—including all aspects of energy procurement and use. An energy management system establishes the structure and discipline to implement technical and management strategies that significantly cut energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions—and sustain those savings over time. Savings can come from no- to low-cost operational improvements. \nAt ISO Ireland 2018 we will bring together over 750 senior level management from Irish industry and business who are at various stages of implementing one or a number of these standards. Sectors include; Food processing\, Pharmaceutical\, MedTech\, Financial\, ICT\, Retail\, Services\, Government\, Local Authorities\, etc. \n

SUMMARY:WIT Lean Practitioner Seminar Series 2017-2018 - 6th Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Combining Coaching with Lean provides a powerful framework that will develop your people to improve your business. Through a methodical coaching process\, levering scientific problem solving generates an action/learning cycle moving the coachee towards their desired outcome via small incremental continuous improvements.

Trevor will share some key learnings for context\, revealing a deeper understanding as to the difference when coaching the ‘What’ as opposed to the ‘Who’ of the coachee. Beginning with Building the Alliance\, the coach creates the contract with the coachee thus providing the framework for the required transformation change. Through frequent coaching cycles the coachee continuously improves towards the desired project outcome via small incremental improvements. \nAbout the speaker\nTrevor is a member of the ICF (International Coaching Federation) Ireland chapter. Currently in the process of obtaining his Associate Certified Coaching credential\, he lead-mentors on an ICF accredited Coaching Skills Programme and has received a Special Award at the ICF Coaching Awards in November 2017 in recognition of his commitment\, passion\, and dedication to coaching in Ireland.
