Contemporary design and construction techniques give architects the ability to design buildings that are zero-energy and provide a healthy environment for the occupants. Too often these ideas are addressed in theory, but John Mlade, LFA, WELL Faculty, LEED Fellow, will offer attendees real-life examples of buildings that achieve the highest ratings for energy conservation and well-being.
This presentation will showcase what’s possible in design and construction today, revealing a path forward toward a future where our built environment’s impact on our environment and our health is minimal.
