"A Journey of 1000 Miles"

Today was the first step towards a long journey ...

This reminds me the chinees proverb " A Journey of 1000 Miles Starts with a Single Step ".

I started the public awareness program with a small group of audience... from my office collegues , non other than my fellow engineers including experienced , well experienced , fresh engineers who are passing through the learning curve of their career .

Although it was a very small forum , the experience added my confidence to conduct such forums in future ...

This is one part of green engineers mission , volunteer to spread the message of "Green Building Practices " and it's importance to our day to day professional obligation" to protect the nature from all bad impact of built environment .

As expected , they were quiet reluctant to "change focus " in this direction initially .. apparently I'm sure they will soon join the bandwagon .... at least I have made them today to "think towards green ". ... That's the first step towards green engineers mission ....

Today's topic was about the Role of Commissioning Authority in LEED Certification of Building Projects .

Perhaps .. today's session would drive us to form and practice the Role of Commissioning Authority and may lead us to work towards more closely with the Green Building Practices .

Hope every body enjoyed the session ... and got a fair idea of the necessity of advocating and practicing the Green Building principle in our day to day career .
