Welcome to Green Building

Green Building Conference and Exhibition 2012

In the aftermath of COP17, where the built environment was again acknowledged as a primary contributor to climate change and a hot spot for accessing mitigation opportunities, but also as a hot spot for adaptive interventions which will be fundamental to creating more climate resilient cities and communities into the future, and after 6 years of advocacy and knowledge sharing it is now fair to ask: why has green building not become standard practice for new buildings and refurbishments in South Africa?

The Green Building Conference 2012 will endeavour to answer this question, by firstly presenting the results of a survey of building projects to ascertain the state of the market, together with a critique of current policy, regulation and mechanisms in South Africa.

Secondly the conference will showcase global leadership and successful policy frameworks and thirdly seek to create a consensus based series of recommendations, which if implemented could have the effect of fast tracking the goal of a broad based up-take and application of green building principals in South Africa.

You are invited to attend this facilitated conference which could emerge as watershed Green Building Conference, and to contribute to the outcomes expressed above.

Join South Africa’s leading property investors, owners and operators, as well as designers, specifiers, builders, suppliers and managers as we grapple with this central and critical question.
