New climate
SB3 - The built environment takes on climate change
Edward Mazria AIA
Architect and Founder of Architecture 2030
|

Climate change is real and imminent—and this environmental concern is making waves
in the building industry. Architect Edward Mazria AIA, author of The Passive Solar
Energy Book and founder of Architecture 2030, is leading the call for change: the
2030 Challenge, a measured strategy to dramatically reduce global greenhouse gas
emissions. Perhaps our most significant opportunity as a creative community, climate
change calls for an evolution in thought, in design, and in construction. Join us
for Mazria's eye-opening keynote presentation on November 19 at 8:30 am. Afterwards,
investigate the companies achieving carbon-neutral and zero-net-energy buildings
at our Build Boston Energy Pavilion on the tradeshow floor and learn something new
in one of dozens of energy-focused workshops. Join forces to make this new climate
a better climate.
