Build Green CEE: history in the making!
- Posted by Sinziana on April 30th, 2008 filed in Energy, Environment
With over 200 participants and an impressive display of interest and support for building greener buildings, the “Build Green CEE” conference was a great success.
The two days of presentations and discussions brought specialists and practitioners in green building techniques, applications, financing and the regulatory environment. We have heard from Sonae Sierra about their quick financial returns from energy and resource efficient developments, from AIG Lincoln about their upcoming green project in Romania and the region and from F&C Property Asset Management and EcoNavitas about the financing and valuation of green buildings. Innovative products and technologies for greater energy efficiency and ecological design were revealed by Philips, DuPont and Lafarge, while government representatives and the Association for Energy Auditors discussed about the regulatory framework and actions necessary for the promotion of this sector.
Selected video presentations and photos from “Build Green CEE” will be available on the conference website - www.BuildGreenCEE.com - after May 15.
Building upon the momentum created by this conference, EcoNavitas announced the foundation of a Romanian Green Building Council, a non-profit organization modeled after the various chapters of the World Green Building Council. It aims at becoming a forum for discussion and actions towards transforming the construction market toward greener technologies, materials, services, and techniques.
