2008 Engineers Australia, Victoria Division is supporting the World Sustainable Building Conference 2008. The World Sustainable Building (SB) Conference series, which has been held every three years, is the peak gathering of the world's leading technical experts and researchers on sustainable built environments. SB08 Melbourne will continue a traditional focus on technical developments and case studies. CSIRO (Australia's national research organisation), leading universities and research groups in Australia and from around the world, are all expected to release new research. How well the research community interacts with industry and government has a significant impact on the speed of technology transfer and adoption of sustainable development concepts and technologies. A high level of engagement will guarantee that communities can enjoy liveable, viable and connected built environments through generations. SB08 has a multifaceted program that builds strong and effective linkages across stakeholder groups to advance sustainability knowledge and practice through market and industry transformation. Site visits of leading-edge Australian commercial, residential and industrial developments are planned. You are invited to be part of this groundbreaking event, which will also provide an opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to sustainability. SB08 has a 'zero net greenhouse emissions' target, covering the energy used in the venues and hotel accommodation. For further information please visit: www.sb08melbourne.com |
