The What: The International Living Future Institute (ILFI) is hosting its third annual Net Positive Energy and Water Conference, dedicated to the exchange of technical expertise, bold strategies and provocative case studies—all aimed at accelerating the global shift toward Net Positive Energy and Water buildings and communities.
In the past few years, net positive energy and net zero water projects have gained tremendous momentum. New projects are rapidly emerging to transform the built environment. New regulations and policies are drafted to incentivize Net Zero Energy buildings. With the pressure of the drought in California and the Southwestern United States, it is more important than ever that we collaborate to create communities that are beneficial to their surrounding ecosystems. Biologist John Todd, one of the key developers of the Living Machines, of John Todd Ecological Design will keynote the opening night.
The When: Thursday – Friday, February 18-19, 2016, 8:00 am – 5:15 pm
The Where: The event will take place at Manchester Grand Hyatt, San Diego, California, U.S.
