Opening Remarks / Keynote

“The Legacy of Buildings: Thoughts on becoming a Good Ancestor”

Beginning with how personal and business perspectives of “sustainability” have evolved over time, we’ll discuss how cultural shifts in companies and communities are required to deliver solutions in this critical time for humanity. Our industry is responsible for building on the green shoots of widespread urgency to re-establish science as a trusted basis for decision-making. We’ll look at how “Building Science” issues have evolved in this context and why we need to move forward within this new paradigm.
