AFRICA GREEN BUILDING CONFERENCE
Concept Note
FAST FORWARD TO THE FUTURE
The Kenya Green Building Society (KGBS) has taken the lead to
transform building practices in Kenya to a sustainable future,
promoting healthy and sustainable environment for the nation.
The Africa Green Building Summit is Kenya Green
Building Society’s largest summit and exhibition
dedicated to green building. The Africa Green
Building Summit (AGBS) brings both local and
international industry leaders, experts, professionals
and suppliers for solution based discussions year
after year. The 2017 theme, Financing Sustainable
Development Goals, targets the heart of sustainable
development in Africa. As KGBS will host the World
Green Building Council’s (WGBC) Africa Regional
Network (ARN) Meeting for the 1st time in history, the
opportunity to unlock finance for Africa’s sustainable
development warrants solution based discussion. The
ARN will gather the green building councils across
Africa for meaningful adoption of green building on
the continent.
AGBS features three days of inspiring speakers;
invaluable networking opportunities; green product
and service showcase opportunities; training on
Green Star Communities® and IFC Edge®; green
leadership awards; ground-breaking announcements;
and networking at our cocktail and Gala dinner.
AGBS will be supporting several social enterprises
in the production of the Summit. Join us as we host
Jerry Yudelson, internationally recognized as one of
the top green building keynote speakers. Dubbed
by Wired magazine “The Godfather of Green,” since
2007, Jerry Yudelson has spoken to business and
professional audiences at green building events on
six continents.

BACKGROUND
Two thirds of the buildings that will make up the
world’s fastest growing cities by 2050 are yet to be
built. So now is our chance to change the future.
According to New Climate Economy, urban areas
in sub-Saharan Africa will be home to 800 million
more people in 2050 than 2014. All these people will
live, work and study in buildings. The future growth
in Africa presents a tremendous opportunity for
stakeholders to reinvent the way we build –to benefit
the economy, society and enable humanity and
nature to thrive together.
Getting it right with Cities has a significant potential,
not just from a pure economic perspective but also
from a social and environmental perspective. Getting
it wrong is likely to be very costly economically,
socially and environmentally.
WHY FOCUS ON SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT GOALS.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s),
otherwise known as the Global Goals, are a universal
call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and
ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
The world needs to be oriented in one direction
to fight poverty or to help achieve sustainable
development, but it is very hard in our noisy,
disparate, divided, crowded, congested, distracted,
and often overwhelmed world to mount a consistent
effort to achieve any of our common purposes.
The SDGs work in the spirit of partnership and
pragmatism to make the right choices now
to improve life, in a sustainable way, for future
generations. They provide clear guidelines and
targets for all countries to adopt in accordance with
their own priorities and the environmental challenges
of the world at large.
The SDG’s are essential for social mobilization,
spur epistemic communities, mobilize stakeholder
networks and provide peer pressure. Financing
of a green built environment and ultimately the
built environment as an end product directly
influences poverty, hunger, health and well-being,
quality education, gender equality, clean water
and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, decent
work and economic growth, industry, innovation
and infrastructure, reduced inequalities, sustainable
cities and communities, responsible consumption
and production, climate action, life below water,
life on land, peace, justice and strong institutions,
partnerships for the goals.
WE AIM TO UNRAVEL
1.
What do developers, both public and private
need to do to access sustainable incentivized
financing in 2017?
2.
What finance is available to achieve sustainable
development goals in green buildings?
3.
Can we reinvent green building? Are we doing
enough to mitigate climate change through
green buildings?
4.
What can’t be measured can’t be managed;
Achieving the 2030 Agenda and the measures
required to report to COP23
5.
How can the region manifest a macro and micro
green economy?
6.
Have we exhausted opportunities for sustainable
affordable housing in Africa?
7.
How can we amplify green building education
and vocational training for capacity building?

Countries and citizens of the world together have embarked on a path to improve the lives of people
everywhere. The KGBS is at the forefront of leading in the education and driving the realisation of the
goals. Green buildings directly contribute to the realisation of a number of these goals, and indirectly to
almost all seventeen Sustainable Development Goals.

Gala Dinner
On behalf of the Kenya Green Building Society, it is my honour
to invite you to become a champion of the green building
movement in Africa by sponsoring, getting trained and
accredited, and deeply engaging in this cause for our future.
As we work behind the scenes on the green building
agenda, celebrating little wins now and then, I tend
to wonder whether we are doing enough. Climate
change is a global issue that requires local solutions
and we cannot go about mitigating it on our own.
Therefore, we are excited to embark on this journey of bringing the green building hurdles to the
forefront. The discussion, perception and excuse that
going green is expensive, continues in many boardrooms of teams that are charged with developing our
cities. On the other end of the spectrum, to no one’s
surprise, is the discussion on how much incentivised
sustainability finance is available in Africa, most of
which goes untouched year after year.
We’ve taken on the responsibility of climate change
mitigation. It is our foremost task in whatever we do.
Since Green Building is our core activity, we have no
other alternative than to bridge the gap between
sourcing, mobilisation, and dissemination of funding
and actualization of the SDG’s through green building.
The 17 SDG’s have synergy with green buildings and
this interrelation negates the need to just focus on
green building when it comes to making an impact
on climate change. However, this is not to say that
some aspects of the SDG’s do not deserve more focus
as achieving one greatly aids in accomplishing another. Goal (6), clean water and sanitation for example,
is fundamental in achieving both Goal (1), “to end
poverty in all its forms everywhere”.
Thus, we are honoured to host the World Green
Building Council’s Africa Regional Network (ARN)
meeting of Green Building Councils in Africa during
the summit. We look to unravel the hurdles that have
delayed green buildings from gaining the momentum they should have by now. For a continent that
has not built most of the cities and infrastructure that
will be needed by 2030, where 78% of the population
are youth, and where climate change effect will be
felt the most, the urgency to do it and do it right now
is colossal.
The challenge is not insurmountable as we know
exactly what each one of us needs to do, as the late
prof Wangari Maathai said “you cannot protect the
environment unless you empower people, you inform them, and you help them understand that these
resources are their own, that they must protect them.”
The Africa Green Building Summit (AGBS) is our
biggest, boldest annual event yet as a green building
council (GBC) as most peers are known globally. As
with our previous annual events, we offer a training
day with this year’s offerings being GreenStar Accredited Professional – Communities® and IFC EDGE®
multi-unit residential.
The Summit will offer unparalleled green economy
opportunities for us to harness. Become a champion!

Accredited
Professional Training
The Green Star – Communities Foundation Course focuses on
the fundamentals of the Green Star - Communities rating tool,
including the business case for sustainable communities, the
categories and credits within the Green Star - Communities
rating tool, and the steps to register and certify a Green Star Communities project.
We are introducing a new Green Building certification
programme into the local property sector. It’s called EDGE
- Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies - and it aims
to drive the residential property market to design and build
resource-efficient buildings.
OVERVIEW
IS THIS THE COURSE FOR ME?
OVERVIEW
KEY OBJECTIVES
An intensive half-day course, the format consists of a
lecture, Q&A, case studies and small group activities,
which provide an understanding of the application of
the Green Star - Communities rating tool.
The Green Star – Communities Foundation Course is
a great introduction to the Green Star – Communities
rating tool and sustainable urban design principles
and practices. Participants come from a range of
sectors and professional backgrounds including
academics, architects, contractors/builders, cost
planners, engineers, general managers, urban
designers, town planners, landscape architects,
policy advisers and project managers. We encourage
anyone who works on a Green Star - Communities
project in any capacity to attend.
Residential projects targeting EDGE certification
are required to appoint an independent Accredited
Professional (AP) to conduct the project audit. With
EDGE being new to Africa we would like to approach
you first to become an EDGE AP, this simply involves
doing a one day face to face course together with an
exam.
AA To gain an understanding of the importance of
green building in the residential sector.
When you attend the Green Star – Communities
Foundation Course you will:
AA gain knowledge of the principles underpinning
Green Star – Communities.
AA gain an awareness of how Green Star –
Communities fits within the broader set of Green
Star rating tools.
AA understand the eligibility requirements and the
certification process.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
AA To understand how the EDGE software works and
the various measures it provides as options.
AA To understand the process and benefits for the
EDGE certification process.
AA Certified qualification for those interested in
becoming an EDGE Accredited Professional.

Agents, Architects, Engineers, Quantity Surveyors,
Project Managers, Contractors, Sustainability
Consultants, Students and anyone else involved in
the design and construction of residential projects in
South Africa.
AA understand how to use the Green Star Communities Submission Guideline.
AA understand what the Green Star – Communities
categories and credits aim to achieve.

ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS
UN COMPLEX, GIGIRI
The UNON compound is quite a unique place as all our facilities
are located in a large 140-acre forest-fringed African garden. In
addition to the varied vegetation and trees on the compound
there is also a large population of birds and wildlife.
Bring a pair of binoculars and take a walk down to
the seasonal swamp to observe the local wildlife
such as: red duikers, squirrels, marsh mongoose,
velvet monkeys and olive baboons. Easily-spotted
bird species include: Grey-crowned cranes, Egyptian
geese, Crested eagles, Green pigeons and Hoopoes.
Other areas of interest are The Gigiri Nature Trail and
The Memorial Garden.
The Nature Trail is managed by a group of local
volunteers and showcases 600 indigenous tree
species. A wildlife and Flora checklist can be obtained
upon request.
The Memorial Garden is a commemoration of the
victims of the Nairobi bombing of the United States
Embassy, this garden of remembrance offers an area
of peaceful contemplation. We hope you enjoy the
visit to UNON.
