The 2nd Better Building Conference

 

Better Building, Ireland's largest property and construction conference, is to be held on Wednesday 24 April 2013 in Croke Park, sponsored by Ecocem, the low carbon cement provider.

 

The theme of the conference, now in its second year, is Leading Environmental Innovation in Europe, and it is organised in partnership with Enterprise Ireland by the Irish Green Building Council, Cultivate and the Sustainable Building Show.

 

Better Building brings together the entire property and construction industry, including estate agents, investors, architects, engineers and contractors to look at the opportunities and challenges for greening the built environment. Despite the massive downturn in the industry since 2008, many Irish companies are thriving by exporting green products and services to the global construction sector.

 

 

 

 

This year's Better Building Conference has over 40 speakers presenting in four parallel streams, covering topics such as green real estate, passive house standard, innovations and green materials. This allows attendees to customise their conference according to their professional needs and interest, updating themselves on the latest trends and research.

 

To tie in with the Irish Presidency of the EU there will be a European emphasis to the event with updates on EU policy and presentations on best practice polices from around Europe.

 

Speakers at the event include Philip Lowe, the EU's most senior policy maker on energy, Ronan Lyons, Economist and author of the Daft Report, Thomas Mueller, CEO of the Canada Green Building Council, and Olivier Rapf, Director General of the Building Performance Institute of Europe.  Read more (PDF)...
