CBRE (Ireland) Head of Sustainability and IGBC #BuildingLife ambassador Rachael McGinley speaks with Robbie Cousins (Irish Construction News) about the need for Irish construction to systematically address whole life carbon emissions in the built environment.

The Irish Green Building Council’s (IGBC’s) #BuildingLife campaign aims to achieve a broad range of private sector actions and public policy changes required to tackle the whole-life environmental impact of buildings.

The appointment of #BuildingLife ambassadors is an integral part of the campaign. The role of these ambassadors is to champion #BuildingLife goals and help drive change around sustainability across the construction industry.

#BuildingLife ambassador

As Head of Sustainability at CBRE, #BuildingLife ambassador Rachael McGinley works at the coalface of decarbonising our building stock by assisting investors, building occupiers and builders in becoming more aware of the whole life carbon (WLC) impacts of the choices they make.

“At CBRE, through our various teams, I advise clients and builders on how to reduce the carbon impacts of the buildings they are investing in or constructing. I also help the CBRE property management team reduce emissions associated with the buildings they manage. In practical terms, this means helping clients and colleagues view the decisions they make through a WLC impact lens.”
