Green Building Design Seminar

John F. Kennedy, founder and President of the Californian architectural software company GeoPraxis, will be the guest speaker at the greenSPACE Technical Seminar being held at the Lews Castle College Conference Centre in Stornoway on Thursday 1st September.

The seminar, which has been organised by Comhairle nan Eilean Siar’s Technical Services Department, will investigate the potential for developing a building design package called greenSPACE as a joint venture with Lews Castle College and industry partners. greenSPACE will allow architects and engineers to evaluate a range of renewable energy technologies during the design process.

For further details of this free half day technical session please contact Donald Macritchie, Principal Engineer (Energy and Building Services Projects), on 01851 709274 or dmacritchie@cne-siar.gov.uk <mailto:dmacritchie@cne-siar.gov.uk>

Notes:

greenSPACE is an applied, interdisciplinary Internet-based project focused on optimising the use of natural resources and the dynamic design and management of green buildings. It will allow designers to determine energy loads for a building and asses the efficiency of a range of renewable energy technologies.
