🌱 Implementing Green Roofs & Rainwater Harvesting at Brunel University 🌍
As part of our group project in Project and Infrastructure Management (PIM), our team, which includes members from various disciplines, has proposed a sustainable solution for the Howell Building at Brunel University. Our project focuses on integrating a green roof with two innovative rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems. The goal is to enhance the building’s environmental performance and sustainability, reducing both climate and environmental impacts.
Our risk evaluation process involves identifying and assessing potential risks based on likelihood (ranging from <5% to >80%) and impact (ranging from insignificant (1) to catastrophic (5)). Once identified, mitigation measures are proposed to reduce these risks, which are then reassessed for their likelihood and impact. The results are summarized in a risk matrix.
Through the proposed mitigation measures, the overall risk to the project is significantly reduced, improving project efficiency. Some residual risks are still classified under moderate and low-risk categories, but with continuous monitoring, they can be addressed effectively. This approach not only reduces financial and operational costs, but it also aligns with our sustainability goals, supporting eco-friendly initiatives on campus.
Project Timeline
The project is divided into three key phases:
- Initiation
- Risk Assessment
- Project Implementation
- Report Preparation and Submission
In conclusion, managing risk effectively in our project of integrating green roofs and RWH systems is critical to achieving the desired sustainable outcomes. By reducing risks, the project not only addresses environmental and financial concerns but also strengthens the university’s commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly urban development.
