The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) has launched a new Understanding Carbon Management course.
The course supports carbon reduction and equips those involved in housing, regeneration and community development projects with practical solutions to help organisations and communities mitigate the effects of our changing climate.
It encourages planners, engineers, developers, regeneration and housing specialists, environmental scientists and architects to make carbon reduction a fundamental part of their job so that measures to reduce carbon are built into all projects.
The programme includes a free taster session to help you assess your skills and understand the basics of carbon management, three online modules that provide information on climate change science; peak oil and energy security; drivers of change; and energy and the carbon hierarchy, and a 'selecting and implementing effective solutions' workshop that helps participants understand the roles of others in wider projects.
Understanding Carbon Management is part of the HCA's integrated carbon offer that includes carbon navigator, which assesses the carbon management skills people need to combat climate change and demystifying Climate Change, a web resource that provides practical solutions to climate change for people who create and maintain communities.
Pat Ritchie, HCA chief executive said: 'We need to work together to change the way buildings are designed, constructed, managed and used by integrating low carbon skills into all housing and regeneration projects."
'But we can only achieve this if housing and regeneration professionals are equipped with the necessary skills, knowledge and expertise to successfully integrate carbon management across all projects."
