The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), Washington, and Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI), Washington, announced it will host Greenbuild Europe in April 2018. The event will be held at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Berlin from April 17-18, 2018. The call for proposals is now open at greenbuild.usgbc.org/europe.
Founded in 2002, Greenbuild showcases green building products, services and technologies. Greenbuild offers two days of U.S. and international speakers, networking opportunities, industry showcases and workshops on the LEED green building program.
“The green building movement is driven by passionate individuals who are dedicated to creating healthier, more sustainable communities,” Mahesh Ramanujam, president and CEO, USGBC and GBCI, says. “There is no better place than Greenbuild to bring these passionate green building leaders together. Greenbuild Europe is an opportunity for us to come together and explore new opportunities to create a more sustainable built environment throughout the region.”
The 2017 Greenbuild conference was Nov. 8-10 in Boston and attracted more than 20,000 attendees and 500 exhibiting companies, USGBC and GBCI say. Greenbuild also expanded to India and China this year.
GBCI, the certification body for LEED and other sustainability systems globally, will play a key role in the conference having recently announced its expansion in the region. GBCI opened its first European office in Munich in April to help facilitate its array of green business rating systems and professional credentials, which include LEED, the PEER standard for power systems, the WELL building standard, the Sustainable Sites Initiative (SITES), Parksmart, TRUE Zero Waste, the Investor Confidence Project (ICP) for energy efficiency retrofits and the GRESB benchmark, which is used by institutional investors and designed to improve the sustainability performance of the global property sector.
“For decades, the European building community has been among the greenest, continually raising the bar on sustainability,” Kay Killmann, managing director, GBCI Europe, says. “With Greenbuild coming to Europe, we will finally have a platform that brings regional players together.”
2018 Greenbuild is Nov. 14-16 in Chicago.
