The Living Building Conference, Workshops and Product Show will be held at Cambrian College on October 23, 24 and 25, 2008.

Conference Overview

The three-day conference, hosted by Cambrian College, will focus on Living Building Retrofits; the idea of using technologies to move current building and renovation practices along the path of sustainability. Together, we will strive to influence current practices, so that energy efficiency and conservation become standard procedure when building or renovating structures.
As prices for energy continue to rise, homeowners will not only require, but they will demand technologies that conserve energy. The conference will serve to inspire architects, developers, and builders to take advantage of the rising demand. It will prepare them for the paradigm shift in how we will look at housing. Over the course of the three-day conference, attendees will take in thought-provoking lectures from influential speakers, receive valuable hands-on training at the workshops, get the chance to acquire essential certification training, and have the opportunity to interact with local vendors at the tradeshow
