Sustainable Innovation 2007

Sustainable Innovation 2007
Global Building and Construction: Systems, Technologies, Products and Services
12th International Conference
29th - 30th October 2007
Farnham Castle Conference Centre
Farnham, Surrey, UK


Globally the building and construction sector has a major "environmental footprint", contributing over 40% of greenhouse gas emissions and generating high volumes of waste.

Major projects such as the Olympics in Beijing (2008) and London (2012), the Thames Gateway in the UK and Dongtan Eco-city in China provide major opportunities to start to show a new way and integrate sustainability thinking from a systems level right through to ground-level.

Recognising this and designing-in sustainable consumption and production systems into new urban environments as first principles will substanially reduce negative impacts.

Sustainable Innovation 07 will provide a platform to discuss "state of the thinking" in sustainable innovation, technology, product and service design and development.

It will highlight best practice and provide a range of case studies and examples.

Sustainable Innovation 07 will include invited and refereed papers covering sustainable innovation from academics, consultants, designers, sustainability, environment and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) managers as well as other business functions.

The event will be a unique learning experience and networking opportunity.

Starts: 29 October 2007
Ends: 30 October 2007
