Sustainable Development Working Group: Sustainable development market through China 12th five year plan
Presented by Aymeric Novel (Terao), Fabien Joly de Brésillon (Bureau Veritas), Bruno Lhopiteau (Siveco) and Julien Bedin (China Green-tech)
The first part of this working group will present the impacts of the 12th five year plan on the green technology market like renewable energies, cleaner conventional energies, electric power infrastructure, clean water, cleaner transportation and green building. It will be presented by Julien Bedin (China Green-tech). It will be followed by a focus on green buildings with the operation and service persp ectives presented by Bruno Lhopiteau (Siveco).
For many, Sustainable Development is all about design, choice of material, equipment and systems, construction – usually in view of obtaining a green certification for your building. The operation and maintenance aspects remain largely ignored, in spite of their significant impact on operating expenses and the lifetime of the building. The speaker will draw on his long experience of the Chinese market, working with Chinese developers and FM service suppliers, as well as with multinationals. Entirely based on real-life experience and case studies, this presentation will offer a practical perspective on the benefits for owners and service suppliers, the potential of the market and its obstacles, the "Dos and Don'ts" and the impact of certifications such as LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance.
