GBE SP News No 1 October 2015
About:

A quick update for GBE Solution Providers; During September we have been up to quite a bit:

NGS prototype website

8 m page views and 34,500 document downloads over previous 2 years
Website has now been emptied and users redirected to GBE homepage.

GBE Website:

Creating GBE Navigation pages from homepage and menus to pages or blog posts
Rebuilding and refining the old NGS sitemap hierarchies with a new GBE twist.
Establishing the Overheating Issue Page and developing the way GBE Issue Pages will be delivered in GBE Encyclopaedia; links will progressively be made to Solutions and Solution Providers (see below)
Responding to a GBE user’s questions with answers in GBE Q&A, creating links to new Solution Providers and added their basic Manufacturer Pages, Product Pages and System Pages.
Posted the first free CPD seminar on Green Construction & Products and a trip down memory lane.
Google and other search engines have now been let loose on GBE website.

A Challenge:

We spent an hour trying the search function to see if we could find a word you might expect to see in a Green Building Encyclopaedia, not present in the 1825 page so far.
And challenge you to try the same: “Go on, search for something!”
Your company and product pages won’t be there yet, if you have not asked to be added!
If you were on NGS website your pages are there but no download files have been added.

Wider promotion:

Promoting new and relocated Pages and Blog Posts on Linkedin, Twitter: @BrianSpecMan, @GBEGreenBuild, facebook, Google+, Pinterest.

Out and about:

Reinforcing the competent specification messages in GBE CPD ‘Specification and Liability‘ at David Morley Architects in-house CPD
Promoting GBE and GBE 2D View to Cambridge’s Sustainable Built Environment East quarterly committee meeting.
Discovering more Solution Providers at SBEE meeting.

Lining up future promotional opportunities:

Attend UK Build Show at NEC next week to meet manufacturers and suppliers. (I hope to see you there)
Invited to speak at The Green Register of Construction Professionals (TGR) 15 years celebrations in London and Bristol
Invited to speak at CIOB East Midlands event in December

Next actions:

Preparing an imminent campaign to design professionals to sign up to GBE
Preparing a campaign to design students to sign up to GBE
Preparing a campaign to magazine and newsletter editors about GBE

GBE Solution Providers:

GBE would like to hear from you if you are an Overheating Solution Provider with Overheating Solutions and would like them to be exposed to GBE’s considerable user traffic.
