Preparing for net-zero

Following a successful pilot in 2024, Abi Truebig and Dr Keith Baker, directors of Pattiesmuir Ltd, will be delivering a second run of their Introduction to Carbon Management and Achieving Net Zero upskilling course for Edinburgh Napier University. The course has been developed by Abi as part of her roles as carbon accountant with one of Pattiesmuir’s partner companies and as a PhD researcher at Napier, which is focussed on understanding the professional development needs of built environment and energy professionals, and so is designed specifically for adult learners.

This year the course is being tailored towards housing, the built environment, and construction, and will include a guest session led by Magdalena Blazusiak, a chartered architectural technologist and a director of the Scottish Ecological Design Association.

The course is being run online as four two-hour weekly evening sessions in March covering climate change, carbon accounting, and carbon management. It’s suitable for anyone needing a grounding in these subjects, as well as those needing a deeper dive into specific regulations such as ESOS and SECR. Each session will include a mix of taught content and plenty of time for questions and discussion.
