• Where do you place yourself in the whole green agenda?
• Were you one of the lucky ones - educated in passive/energy efficient building design? Or like most of us, did you miss out and are self taught?
• Have you learned enough, what tools do you use and how much do you trust them?
• Can you be pushed a bit further/faster? Is professional liability a barrier in your quest for sustainable solutions?

The aim of the speaker at this seminar is to share some pathways to better solutions.

• Are you 'green' or 'violet'? What are green and violet materials?
• Low carbon design, low carbon building, low carbon materials: how far will you go and how far have you got so far?
• GreenSpec Green: how do we define Green?
• BRE Green (Guide to Specification): how do BRE define Green?
• Why does it not feel Green?
• GreenSpec Studio: free online Elemental Design and Elemental Specification assembly tool
• Eco-refurbishment: how does all of this apply? And a few potholes to avoid.
