A quality assurance instrument – the national environmental certification scheme Quality Label in Construction

Environmental certificates are established in the developed world as a quality assurance mechanism; above all, they are synonymous with higher quality, reliability, sustainability, environmental friendliness and safety for consumers and investors. For this reason, the lowest price is not the only criterion in public and other tenders abroad, but also whether the bidder has obtained an environmental certificate.

As an important instrument of quality assurance, the ZKG certificate is recognised and valued in the profession, as it is not given to just anyone who applies, but only to the best in the given field and those who lag behind the best by a maximum of 10%; thus only 180 ZKG awards have been presented in all these years.

As part of the integral project LIFE IP CARE4CLIMATE, coordinated by the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning, one of the measures for the gradual transition to a carbon-free society is the upgrading the ZKG certification scheme.

The ZKG National Environmental Certification Scheme currently covers higher quality products, services, devices and systems. The LIFE IP CARE4CLIMATE project aims to upgrade it with new categories, e.g. the quality of the renovation of cultural heritage buildings, which poses a challenge to developers, potential applicants, investors and users.

The Enough for All Conference: A solar power station in every community

"The time to set goals and discuss strategies has passed. Now is the time to act," says Dr Jonas Sonnenschein from Umanotera, which decided that this year’s national conference topic will be community solar power stations, precisely because of the important role they can play in the necessary speedy decarbonisation of the electricity power supply in Slovenia. More than 140 participants, including representatives of municipalities, regional development and energy agencies and state administrations, as well as representatives of civil initiatives, non-governmental organisations, research institutions and companies, attended the conference to learn about the new legal framework and inspiring successful practices from Slovenia and abroad.

International summer school "Strengthening the resilience of forests to climate change"

Due to climate change, European forests are facing an enormous challenge. The resilience and stability of forests must be increased today in order to preserve them and reduce the effects of climate change in the future. We will attempt to answer a few questions about how to achieve that at the international summer school "Strengthening the resilience of forests to climate change", organised in Postojna between 18 and 22 July by the Slovenian Forestry Institute as part of the LIFE-IP CARE4CLIMATE project 2022. The programme is aimed at BSc forestry students from Slovenia and EU member states. The emphasis of the programme will be on silvicultural solutions and good practices that have proved successful in Europe in strengthening the resilience of forests to climate change.

Installation of the first device for measuring greenhouse gas emissions in the pilot area of the Ljubljana Marshes

Soil processes are affected by various factors, including management methods and land use, e.g. in agriculture. Soil can be a GHG source or sink. This can be established by direct measurement in the field, namely with special sensors for greenhouse gas measurement. Based on information about emissions, activities can be adapted or measures for their reduction can be implemented.
