Since buildings are responsible for approximately 40% of carbon dioxide
emissions each year, considerable focus has been placed on the construction of
new green buildings. Discussion about the importance of improving and re-using
our existing building stock – and especially our historic buildings – is largely absent from the conversations about climate change.

Greennx 2008 Green Building Conference - The Next Green Leap on May 15, 2008 at the Chan Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, offers one full day of intensive and comprehensive overview, learning and discussion on all the Latest Hot Issues about Green Buildings - policies, challenges, opportunities, business and social entrepreneurship, design and technologies.
