Campus Green Builder

EEBA 2010 focuses on the science behind green and sustainable building practices, understanding new regulations and legislative measures, and capitalizing on increasing opportunities.

Dr. Alexander Felson, lecturer at Yale University's School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, and School of Architecture will discuss the connections between ecological research and urban design.

The American Institute of Architects' 2010 Convention will focus on "design for the new decade." Participants will discuss how the modern, global economy is redefining the architectural profession, and will help to shape the future of architecture by recommitting themselves to the discipline’s primary mode of thought and action— design.

AASHE is hosting a presentation and Q&A session with two experts in the field of campus energy management and conservation who will explain how "Effective Campus Energy Conservation" can make a difference on your campus. The conference call is open to members of under-resourced institutions (Title III / V) that received a discounted AASHE membership made possible in part through Second Nature's Advancing Green Building Program.

This conference intends to construct bridges across the diverse terrains of sustainability theory and practice, engaging in productive dialogue and debate that might lead to innovative green frameworks for environmental scholarship, activism, research, and policy. The conference also seeks to encourage innovative dialogues between diverse groups from academic fields that are not always in the sustainability conversation. This conference is hosted by The Portland Center for Public Humanities at Portland State University.

This workshop is for people at institutions that have posted their greenhouse gas inventories and are preparing their climate action plans, and will provide participants with the knowledge and skills for leading workshops on climate action planning and campus/community engagement. This workshop is presented by The American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment.

This will be a lively discussion of the qualifications that recent graduates bring to their first job. This meeting will explore what architecture graduates should be taught regarding interdisciplinary collaboration and sustainable design of carbon neutral and net zero buildings. This event will be held at the Boston School of Architecture.
