Academy of Modern Building Management: Ready for the office environment of the future

The working environment in offices has changed significantly in recent years. In addition to the economic crisis and the growing emphasis on energy efficiency, the COVID-19 pandemic also played a key role, which fundamentally limited the operation of office space for two years. 

This situation led to a massive boom in working from home and subsequently to increased requirements for the quality and safety of the indoor environment in offices. Most recently requirements for compliance with ESG principles play an important role. 

With these changes, there is an increasing pressure to adapt building management to new trends and guidelines. The aim is to motivate employees to return to the office, where a modern working environment should ensure high productivity, comfort and health.

The Czech Green Building Council responds to this challenge and comes up with a unique educational program – the Academy of Modern Building Management. The academy will offer participants a deep insight into the eight key characteristics of a healthy office and show how to effectively measure important parameters to improve the quality of the working environment and reduce the carbon footprint of building operations.

The Academy programme will focus not only on examples of good practice, but also on problematic areas, with an emphasis on new tenant requirements and optimization of operating costs. Participants can look forward to the experience and knowledge of more than ten experts in various fields, including HVAC, lighting, acoustics, ergonomics and biophilia. These experts will present the latest trends and offer the opportunity to get acquainted with modern materials and technologies.

The academy will take place in five blocks during October and November in modern office buildings, which will serve as a practical demonstration of the latest solutions for a healthy indoor environment (e.g. Riverside, Embassy of Canada, etc.). Participants will gain theoretical knowledge and practical experience that they will be able to use immediately in their own operation. Each block will include plenty of space for discussion, questions and sharing experiences.

We believe that the final discussions will be inspiring and will help participants incorporate the acquired knowledge into their daily practice.
