SustainaBUILD Conference 2011

We are in the midst a massive paradigm shift of the real estate and development industries toward "green" innovations in design, construction and operation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to reverse the effects of Climate Change. However over the past few years indoor air quality, mould and moisture problems related to building envelope and ventilation systems have gained a reputation within the construction, design and building management communities as often difficult and complicated issues. There has been a rapid adoption of green building certification systems for new and existing buildings that claim to protect occupant health while achieving climate change objectives.

But are all green buildings healthy buildings? This one day conference will seek to provide answers to this pressing issue by addressing the myths and misconceptions surrounding sustainable green buildings and health in the context of the building envelope and ventilation.
