Research shows that we could be constructing buildings that are more resilient, healthier and better for the environment. There are many ways we could make buildings better here in Nova Scotia and that is what this series of presentations is all about. Architects, engineers, custom builders, contractors, developers, and educators are encouraged to attend these presentations, ask questions and share information that can help everyone build more sustainable buildings.
We're asking, is Net Zero affordable and achievable for all?
