Wow, anyone else out there starting to feel like they live in a city that really cares about the environment? The amount of green events in Miami lately has been overwhelming. Today, I have even more information about another upcoming green event.
FIU, Biscayne Bay Campus, is holding a Green Building Conference on Friday, November 3. Called, Green Buildings & Sustainable Construction: A Road Map for the Future, you will need to pre-register for the conference. It costs $50 per person, with a discount for USGBC members.
The conference is being hosted by FIU’s Institute for Technology Innovation & Canadian General Consulate of Miami.
The event is described as follows:
This event will bring together corporate leaders from our community in industries such as real estate, land development, construction, and architecture, as well as experts in climate, green technology, and the environment, focusing on three areas:
• New technologies and construction practices that decrease the energy footprint of buildings. This will cover construction materials, energy and water use, and management practices.
• The future of government environmental regulations at the local, national, international levels as well as emerging industry standards and certifications.
• The future of global climate change and the effects this has on construction and building management strategies
