Webinar: Embedding Sustainability into the Heart of Operations - Lessons Learned from Terra
December 12, 2024
Learning Objectives:
- How passive and active built environment design strategies can be utilised in arid regions such as the UAE to facilitate net zero energy, water and waste operations.
- The museum-specific challenges Terra have encountered (unique operating hours, temperature requirements for equipment insurances to stay valid, push back on what a museum experience should entail).
- How achieving Terra's targets have only been possible by being honest and reactive about what isn’t working and engaging their entire team to be part of their solutions: trial and error.
- How developing exhibits and educational programs with immersive experiences and/or hands-on activities along with inspiring and emotional journeys has proven powerful.
- How partnerships have been a key unlock for trialing new technologies, developing stellar experiences.
