About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we have X with us, an expert in green building investments and the instructor of the Graduate Certificate in Green Building Investments. Can you tell us a bit about the course and what inspired you to create it? GUEST: Sure, the course is designed to equip professionals with the necessary skills to identify and evaluate green building investment opportunities and implement sustainable practices. I've seen a growing demand for eco-friendly buildings and wanted to provide a platform for professionals to expand their knowledge in this field. HOST: That's great! Can you share some current industry trends that are relevant to the course? GUEST: Absolutely, there is a significant push towards net-zero energy buildings, which generate as much energy as they consume. Additionally, many governments are offering incentives for green building investments, making it an attractive option for businesses. HOST: That's fascinating. What challenges have you faced in teaching this subject, or what challenges have your students faced while learning? GUEST: One challenge is the misconception that green building investments are more expensive than traditional building practices. However, studies have shown that while the upfront costs may be slightly higher, the long-term savings in energy and maintenance costs make it a worthwhile investment. HOST: That's a common misconception. Where do you see the future of green building investments going? GUEST: I believe green building investments will become the norm in the future as the need for sustainable practices becomes more urgent. The construction, real estate, and finance industries will need to adapt to this trend and equip themselves with the necessary skills to stay competitive. HOST: Thank you for sharing your insights with us today. It's been a pleasure having you on the podcast. GUEST: Thank you for having me. It's been a great conversation.
