Event Description
The Key to Buildings in a Circular Economy - Open Mic Session (Online)
November 11, 9-10 am EST (14-15 GMT, London)
Green buildings, despite their more environmentally friendly design, will suffer the same end as most buildings, piled onto landfills that are already full with construction debris. It does not have to be this way. Circular economy buildings will be designed to be redesigned so that they can adapt to the changing needs of the building’s users and community. Their value will be determined by their performance, not their price tag; so that environmental goals will be overachieved - not overpromised. This session will provide participants with the understanding to succeed in a building industry based on the circular economy.
