The main responsibility is to support the achievement of the project’s sustainability aspirations in the construction, delivery and closure phases, and to achieve the desired green rating. They are the champions of on-site sustainability and ensure that the environmental impacts of the site are minimized.
Energy Efficiency
and Certification
In Site Sustainability Management, the principles of infrared thermography and knowing how to achieve an airtight building, ensuring energy efficiency and reducing waste are crucial. In addition, a deep understanding of the certification process and one’s role in post-construction evaluation is important. This includes knowledge of the various tests required for Commissioning and the ability to identify the correct type of test to ensure proper operation of the building’s facilities and systems.
