Every month we hold our increasingly popular webinar series, which has previously covered issues including construction waste, te reo Māori in the built environment, eco labels, social procurement, wellbeing and healthy buildings, climate change, and much more. We also run regular webinars examining specific products and materials, and their relationship with green building certifications.

Demand for these webinars is increasing as our members ask for a range of themes and topic to build market readiness for the increased focus on carbon and the changes coming through certifications.
