Alternative Energy & Sustainability Systems
Sustainable Energy is the power used which is able to be replenished within a human lifetime, so causing no long term damage to the environment. It is essential that this is considered early on in the design process and Ian explains green building rating systems, types of renewable energy, sustainable building methods and products.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Green rating systems employed are BREAM, LEED, GGMB, WELL, Fitwel, GreenGlobe, Green Star, BCA, Green Mark and many other country dependent schemes.
- Solar energy, wind farms, hydroelectric dams, geothermal heat, ocean power, hydrogen, biomass from recently living plants and organisms, heat source pumps are all types of alternative energy production methods.
- Sustainable building methods include synthetic roof underlay, green roofs, grid hybrid systems, passive solar, grey water plumbing, electrochromic glass, solar thermal cladding, structural 3D printing and self healing concrete.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We see this often in PV or photovoltaic systems for electricity generation. In hotter climates such as the Caribbean or certain parts of Africa you often see solar heating systems on the roof of buildings.’
‘Effectively you’re trapping grey water for use in flushing in toilets and things like that.’
``We need to look at the sustainable impact of buildings at the beginning and consider what the building is to be rated and how it is to be designed and operated in a much more sustainable way.’

ABOUT THE HOST
Ian Rogers is an entrepreneur running businesses in the Real Estate, Construction and Facilities Management arena. Ian has over 40 years’ industry experience, as he was effectively born into construction with his father having his own building company and Ian spending time working on sites from the age of 11!. As a result Ian has seen the industry from a trades person perspective, as a chartered quantity surveyor working on large commercial projects, as a project manager and then working on structured project finance through PFI/PPP deals. This has given Ian a unique whole life approach to any project by considering the end game at the beginning.
