The iiSBE SB11 Canadian Team for the World Sustainable Building Conference to be held in Helsinki, Finland will participate in this conference by presenting recent examples of the most environmentally-advanced new buildings in Canada. These buildings will be evaluated against a benchmark that represents current new building practice in the region where the buildings are located.
The SB11 Canadian Team will also examine community and social issues inherent in the building design. Team members represent a mix of private- and public-sector interests from across the country. They are committed to, and capable of, representing Canada and making a substantial contribution to furthering the sustainable building agenda within Canada and internationally.
