It’s for professionals in architecture, construction, engineering, planning, and interior design who depend on thoughtful and ethical solutions which promote wellness and resiliency in construction and urban development. By participating with Greenbuild, you can return to the field powered by the latest education and discoveries for the built environment. Sustainability is the foundation of Greenbuild; it impacts all activities, partners, vendors and participants. And its impact is visible from the sessions we present to the products on the show floor to the way the event is produced. WHAT IS THE GREEN BUILDING MOVEMENT? The green building movement embraces all of humanity by making sustainable buildings and environments accessible to everyone, and in doing so, to benefit the natural environment all around us. We are helping people understand their role in protecting and preserving the natural environment and leveraging the built environment to: improve human health and wellbeing ensure resiliency mitigate climate change enhance community and social equality restore and protect our ecosystems enhance building efficiency and performance promote sustainable design The future of the human race is interwoven with the future of the planet, and the sustainable practices we celebrate and advance at Greenbuild remind us that our success as sustainability advocates, practitioners and professionals is more than a movement, it is a responsibility.
