The GreenBuilding Endorser Programme
The GreenBuilding Endorser Programme has been established to help the European Commission and the GreenBuilding National Contact Points to promote GreenBuilding to potential participants and to support already registered GreenBuilding participants in their efforts to reduce the energy consumption in their non-residential buildings. The GreenBuilding Endorser Programme is open to almost all interested parties from the building sector.
In particular, registrations are welcome from:
• Equipment manufacturers,
• Building contractors,
• Energy management and system design companies,
• Electric utilities and energy service companies,
• Energy equipment importers, distributors and vendors,
• National professional and trade associations.
To become a GreenBuilding Endorser, an organisation must have assisted at least one building owner in becoming a GreenBuilding Partner. Furthermore, it is expected that a GreenBuilding Endorser will undertake specific actions to support GreenBuilding, according to the requirements below. In return, the Endorser will get public acknowledgement for their efforts.
Though not entailing legally binding obligations, joining the Endorser Programme requires a commitment to the objectives of GreenBuilding. Joining proceeds through a registration whereby the company in question commits itself to fulfil the GreenBuilding Endorser Programme requirements. Endorsers may use the GreenBuilding logo, and their relevant activities and products may be included in the promotional and technical support material.
The list of GreenBuilding Programme Endorsers, including a description of their specific contribution to the GreenBuilding Programme, will be published widely (brochure, Internet etc.).
Organisations, that are interested in becoming a GreenBuilding Endorsers are also advised to consult the Endorser Guideline and the "Highlight GB Endorser".

3) Do you think that green building procedures are common in Poland?
I don’t think so. Maybe because Polish Green Building Council was founded in the fall of 2006 - recently relatively. But I hope that this will change in the near future.
nice :)
ReplyDeleteI think too, Nowadays companies in Poland, do not really believe that it would help. I think that in 2011,2012 thhis situation will change dramaticly.
Again, questions you posted are not much of a content to discuss and since they were already answered I will skip them.
ReplyDeleteAll of them besides last which still has some discussion potential.
Do you think that green building procedures are common in Poland?
If someone said yes that would be quite a funny joke. Unfortunatelly we are very slow when it comes to certain things and Green Building appears to be one of them.
Perhaps in the future it will evolve a bit faster but that is something we have to still wait for.
Nevertheless, goal is there and I think making Greenbuilding more popular is something good to aim at. As long as clerks wont turn it into a nightmare as they do with everything else in our country.
Like Radoslaw above I'll skip those questions too. However the whole Greenbuilding thing surely has a bright future in Poland. We are always few (or worse - many) steps behind modern West. It also affects development processes like examplary builidng but also many other (product development). Once it works out somewhere else, we'll start to adapt new methods to our economics and way of thinking of any green-related issue.
