In a context of resurgent commercial construction in industrialised economies and increased government targets for the building of houses across Europe, this event asks how we can obtain the goal of zero carbon development.
It argues we need, and seeks papers on Sustainable construction; Eco-retrofitting; Resilience; Adapting to climate change; Building sustainability assessment tools; design for life; sustainable communities; effective public transit; low-tec, low-cost self -build, etc.
The conference welcomes international contributions from across sectors: environmental engineers, sustainable architects, urban planners, infrastructure designers, building technologists, policy makers and others.
It reinforces that action is needed now – environmentally and socially.
