With over 57 recognised and credible sustainable building rating schemes, including BREEAM, LEED and Ska, navigating one’s way around product labels such as BRE and Eco-labels can sometimes feel akin to negotiating a minefield. This seminar aims to equip architects with the information needed to understand the limitations of existing sustainability labels used in the UK construction industry, and to challenge companies, so that you can specify products that just don’t tick boxes but are making a fundamental difference in the way they are made, distributed, installed and de-constructed.

The seminar covers the three main sustainability schemes or types:

- Type I, II and III product labelling to ISO 14025
- Building rating schemes, such as BREEAM, LEED and Ska
- LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) schemes such as EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations).
