Green Building and Design Conference 2009 – Green Materials

The aim of the conference is to promote methods and strategies that should be used when selecting building materials.

April 4th, 2011

RMIT University’s Centre for Design has put together a comprehensive and informative program on the topic of building materials and their environmental impact.

The aim of the conference is to promote methods and strategies that should be used when selecting building materials. Topics range from the proposed emissions trading system and its effect on building material to alternative and smart materials. Presentations by local and international speakers, discussions and a choice of 9 award winning site visits will illustrate how theory has been put into practice and how practice can be used to refine theory.

An online participation mode has been established for those participants, who are unable to make it to Melbourne.

Our conference website is packed full of information, with an up-to-date program, speaker profiles, and site visit information.
