The event
The NHS Trust plans for the Birmingham Women’s Hospital and Birmingham Children’s Hospital to become a joint hospital, and are working on options to create a new facility on an existing site. UKGBC’s applied learning programme, Second Nature LIVE will enable learners to assess the sustainability considerations for the Hospital Board. Second Nature LIVE will incorporate cutting edge, highly engaging learning techniques and has been specifically designed for those without sustainability in their job title.

- The key principles of green building and construction
- How sustainability considerations impact design briefs, working practices and decision-making across various disciplines and at all stages of a project
- The role that site, climate, program, location, structure and building technology play in the process of design, construction, operation and maintenance
- Opportunities and constraints, including, where relevant, key policy and regulatory frameworks, building performance standards, and industry trends
- Interdisciplinary, collaborative approaches to the application of the key principles to a live project or proposition
- The different roles and new responsibilities in working together towards green building and construction
