Outline of BrianSpecMan‘s Keynote presentation at 09:30

• During the Sustainability Revolution we will progress towards low energy demand buildings and we will shift our focus towards embodied energy and embodied carbon of both the building fabric and the services.
• Made of plastics, metals, circuit boards, etc. services will probably have the biggest impacts despite smaller volumes.
• I said probably, we will only find out when we start to quantify it all.
• With government procurement via Building Information Modelling we will inevitably have the tools to measure but the Information and the Design & Decision Tools are needed to analyse, compare, choose and make changes to our specification habits.
• Everybody will become involved in driving change from designer, specifier, cost controllers, value engineers, manufacturer, installer to facilities manager.
• Brian Murphy will provide a glimpse into the world of Life Cycle Assessment, BIM, D&DT, Validation of manufacturers information and offer some tools to help steer a safe root between sustainability and liability and suggest some new career opportunities.
