SUSTAINABLE BUILDING CONFERENCE SB14, Barcelona

The International Conference on Sustainable Buildings - Construction Products and Technologies SB14 is part of a major international series of conferences that focus on sustainable building and construction. The series was launched by the International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB) and the International Initiative for a Sustainable Built Environment (iiSBE) more than ten years ago, and these partners were subsequently joined by the Sustainable Building and Climate Initiative (SBCI) of United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC). The series, now on a three-year cycle, has become recognized as the world’s preeminent conference series in this important field. The series consists of a first year of planning, followed by a series of regional conferences in the second year, and culminating in a global event during the third year. The global conference will be held in Barcelona from 28 to 30 October 2014. The Palau de Congressos de Catalunya (Catalonia Conference Centre) will host the Conference – one of the largest meetings on a global level on sustainable building.
