Green building predictions

The Green Register’s director and head trainer Lucy Pedler has predicted three key trends in green building for 2010.

Lucy, who set up The Green Register 10 years ago to promote green building in the UK, believes construction professionals will:
  • give much more emphasis on the existing building stock;
  • become much more aware of issues such as airtightness due to new Part L legislation and clients’ desire to reach higher building standards such as passivhaus;
  • need to be more savvy about sustainable building practices as clients/occupants demand higher standards.
Despite the recession The Green Reigster thinks that opportunities exist and that struggling professionals who have been hit hard by the recession can give their career a boost by training in green building issues.
