Dear Colleagues,
Four Universities and organisations, from three countries, jointly invite you to the International Sustainable Building Conference: SB10 Euregion. It will take place in Maastricht ( Netherlands ) Liege and Zolder ( Belgium) and Aachen ( Germany) on 11-12 and 13 October 2010.
>> SB10 Euregion, 11-12-13 October 2010 Maastricht NL
Organised as one of the regional conferences under the umbrella of CIB, iiSBE and UNEP, the three hosts have chosen a challenging theme for the conference:
>> Towards 0 Impact buildings and environments.
How to establish this? How to design new buildings and districts with optimised energy and water systems, and with materials that do not deplete resources, nor created CO2 emissions? And how to re-develop our neighbourhoods and districts in a transition for 0-impacts? How to plan a route for cities to become energy neutral? With G8 just recently in July 2009 agreeing on 80 pct CO2 reduction by 2050, it obvious there is no escape anymore then to explore the situation where buildings and Built environment have 0 or near 0- impacts.
>> Creating a knowledge base:
This is what the conference is about. We are looking for examples, methods , strategies, tools, results and research that aims at the 0-options. If you are interested, please provide us with an abstract of your findings, to create a knowledge base for the shift to make in the years to come.
>> Abstracts deadline: December 1 , 2009.
Parallel to the scientific paper conference there will me a range of market oriented workshops and panels, to discuss implementation of the approach, and adaptation to local cultures in dealing with specific circumstances, like for instance shrinking population in some of the towns in the Euregion.
>> Partners , sponsors , and organisations are invited to contact and join the organisation.
Looking forward to see and meet you in Maastricht in 2010!
Ronald Rovers, Chair SB10 Euregion
