The CO2 emitted into the atmosphere has reached worrying concentration levels, and is a contributory factor to devastating natural disasters. The building sector has great potential to reduce these emissions and their effects.
The German Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development [BMVBS] is organizing a conference to present innovative approaches. These range from applying traditional building design elements to highly developed technologies and the implementation of energy efficiency in India and Germany.
The conference will be on June 28 + 29, 2012. You can decide, if you are more interested in non-residential (the focus on 28th June), or inresidential buildings (the focus on 29th June).
