3rd Annual Sustainable Building Materials & Construction Technologies 2011

The buzzword in the construction industry now is sustainability . The quest now is how to build environmentally-friendly, ecological, sustainable and energy efficient buildings and structures. Studies have revealed that cooling, heating and lighting techniques used by these buildings can help save 30 % on energy consumption, reduce 50% of dioxide emissions, cut down 50% water consumption and minimise up to 90% of waste produced by buildings. Building owners are increasingly becoming interested in making their facilities more energy efficient to save money and decrease operating costs. This also means there is huge potential for the green construction market. This well-timed event is put together for attendees to get acquainted with new materials and construction technologies to incorporate cutting-edge and economically viable sustainable solutions thereby increasing profitability, decreasing construction time and overall impact on the built environment. Key features :

• Acquiring knowledge of cutting-edge green building materials and construction technologies for sustainability and energy efficiency in buildings
  
  
• Gaining insights into affordable building materials for an economically viable and replicable construction model
  
  
• Recognising some of the innovative constructiontechnologies and applying them into the design and construction of building structures
