The US Green Building Council (USGBC), creators of the LEED green building rating system, announced that registration is now open for Greenbuild Europe. The conference will be held March 24-25, 2020 in Dublin, Ireland, at Croke Park and features a keynote from former Irish Times editor and author Frank McDonald, as well as remarks from USGBC and Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI) President and CEO Mahesh Ramanujam.
Now in its third year, Greenbuild Europe is the flagship event for sustainability professionals helping to shape the future of green buildings, cities and communities. The conference offers a forum for the region’s growing green building community to share the best practices, learn about the latest LEED and green building developments, and connect with peers and market leaders. Europe is currently home to more than 6,500 LEED projects, representing more than 185 million gross square meters of space. In 2018, Turkey, Germany and Spain were among the top 10 countries and territories globally for LEED green building.
“Opening registration for Greenbuild Europe is always exciting for me and officially starts the countdown to what will be a powerful conference experience,” said Kay Killmann, Managing Director of GBCI Europe. “In just over 100 days, Europe’s best and most talented changemakers will participate in a program designed to drive the future of green building in a market that consists of more than 40 countries with diverse perspectives on sustainability and green building. Climate change is one of the biggest challenges we face and it knows no border. Greenbuild Europe is our community’s chance to show the world how we are a part of the solution.”
The reasons for building green vary country by country, but the level of green building activity in Europe is expected to grow through 2021. Greenbuild provides the building, design and construction industry a method for staying updated on the latest practices and strategies.
