Green Building Conference
The green building concept has significantly changed the way buildings are designed, constructed and operated today. Use of latest tools such as energy simulation, daylight simulation right at the design stage, appropriate building orientation, highly insulated envelope (glass & wall), high performance equipment and systems can result in energy savings to the tune of 40% - 50%. As power, water and construction materials get rarer and dearer, the future of construction clearly lies in sustainability.
Pragyan 2011 brings you Green Building Conference by some of the elite in the sustainable construction industry. This (including a Question & Answer session) would be a never-miss opportunity to be abreast with the contemporary trends in green building and to know about your career prospects in this field.
