In House CPD invitation by David Morley Architects

  • Quite a few years back you kindly came into our office here at David Morley Architects and presented one our most interesting and memorable CPD sessions.
  • I am still involved with the coordination of CPD, working with the team copied into this e-mail and would very much like to invite you back to present again at one of our weekly Thursday lunchtime sessions.

Chris Roberts


Hi Chris

  • It was only 9 years ago.
  • I do remember it and I am very grateful to hear such positive feedback after such a long time.
  • I would like to quote you (with your permission) on my new website to encourage more opportunities to speak.
  • I may have spoken then about NGS National Green Specification and GreenSpec website.
  • Today I have left GreenSpec to the site editor to do his own thing.
  • Since 2012 I have been developing Green Building Encyclopaedia (GBE) website.
  • This site has been live as NGS website www.greenspecdownload.co.uk for 2 years (1.76m page views of 1810 pages)
  • And is now being rebuilt as www.greenbuildingencyclopaedia.uk it is visible on the internet but not launched to the scrutiny of Google yet.
  • I hope to launch it next month but more work to do on it yet.
  • I would be very happy to talk to your audience about some very exciting GBE ambitions.
  • I have recently been writing a paper about Overheating Problems and Solutions (70 pages) which I can mention.

Dates I can offer at the moment.

  • August 31-4 Sept
  • Sept 7-9, 11, 14-16, 18, 21-23, 25, 28-30.
  • Oct 2, 12-16, 19-21, 23, 26-30.
  • I anticipate 1 or 2 days per week at LSB University starting September but await confirmation and dates.

I do hope this happens, I am really looking forward to it.

Regards

  • It’s all about good timing! I always remember you saying that specification ‘is the design process’ …
  • This is something I’m keen to emphasise in the session which will be the first of what we are planning to be a specification focused season of CPD’s over the next 2-3 months.
  • We are generally looking to train the office about the use of and importance of getting the specification right.
  • It’s NBS Building we use.
  • We might be looking at NBS Create going forwards so it would be interesting if you are able to touch on that.
  • I’ve a feeling that we might be inviting you along more than once over the next few months as there’s only so much you can cover in an hour.
