Sustainable Building Challenge 2008
   Canadian SBC'08 Team

The iiSBE Canada Team for Sustainable Buildings 2008 will participate in this conference by presenting the most environmentally advanced buildings designed for construction in Canada , evaluated against a benchmark that is current new building practice in the region where the building is to be constructed.
The Team will also examine community and social issues inherent in the building design. Members represent a mix of private- and public-sector interests from across the country, and are both committed to, and capable of, representing Canada and making a substantial contribution to furthering the sustainable building agenda, both within Canada and internationally.
