The one-day conference in Cambrian College’s eDome will chronicle
the origin and emergence of a powerful idea based on a simple
metaphor – that of the living building. It will explore the history of
energy-efficient building design and construction in Northern Ontario,
and it will illustrate the possibilities in the world of architecture. It
will also discuss the future and will outline how buildings should
be built in order to ensure a sustainable future and to address
powerful trends such as climate change. The conference will inspire
architects, developers, and builders. Most importantly, it will prepare
them for the future of sustainable building design and construction.
Conference workshops will support business and association
partners by providing information on how to market residential
energy-saving products and by demonstrating the installation of
energy-efficient building materials.
