The SBE series of national and international conferences was launched in 2000 and now operates on a three-year cycle.
The main objective of the series was, and remains, to disseminate innovative policies and developments in the field of sustainable urban environment to a broad international audience of specialists in policy, design, construction and operation of buildings and related infrastructure.
We achieve these goals through face-to-face communication of delegates at the individual conferences, the dissemination of peer-reviewed technical papers at the events and in high-quality journals, and also by means of related exhibits.
A second major objective is to support international exchange of views and ideas by encouraging improved communication between experts in various countries, over the long term. Towards this end, we are placing increasing emphasis on close ties between the organizers of national events and the global conferences that are held at the climax of each cycle.
The Pandemic has caused scheduling problems and this has resulted in three regional conferences being delayed to Spring 2023, and the WSBE Montreal event being delayed to early 2024. These schedule shifts will not create problems in launching the next cycle of regional events in 2025.
