Green Building conference comes to Sandton in July
This year's Green Building Conference and Exhibition offers world renowned designers and experts, accompanying South Africa's own leaders in sustainable construction, in a new extended plenary format. It takes place at the Sandton Convention Centre, 13-14 July 2011.
Two of the international speakers are Colin Rohlfing, sustainable design director for projects within the Northern Central Region of HOK, a global architectural firm, and Megan Holder, associate and landscape designer with HOK. Both have been extensively involved in the green building development of Saudi Arabia's award winning King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).
Lloyd Macfarlane, CEO at Alive2Green, says, "Delegates will have the opportunity to attend one of three real-time green building design charrettes on day two, a collaborative session in which a group of design professionals and experts practically tackle the mechanics of a green building."
