Éasca Living Building Challenge event - Case studies from the Cloughjordan Ecovillage

Please join us for this workshop which highlights the green building projects that have been built in the Ecovillage in Cloughjordan. The workshop begins with an introduction to the Living Building Challenge, and an overview of the imperatives and criteria used to measure projects in this system. Using the Cloughjordan Ecovillage as a case study, we will discuss how certain aspects of the Living Building Challenge were met by specific buildings and how other aspects could not be met due to regulatory or logistical challenges. Participants are encouraged to discuss how those challenges can be overcome in the future and how we can move towards a Deeper Green approach to design and construction in Ireland.Date:

Cost: €65 Members (Éasca, Cultivate, RIAI, Engineers Ireland, CIBSE, IGBC members) / €80 - (Non-members) /

Worth a read:

"To really capture the prize of sustainable business, you can't just do business as usual…

Successful sustainable businesses put social goals and environmental frameworks at the heart of their strategy, the heart of their engagement with strategies and the heart of their supply chains"...
.. argues Harry Morrison, director of sustainability services at Accenture.

Sustainability advocates no longer lecture companies about how to work, but point them to the commercial benefits of going green
