Expert Talk Series 2021

For a sneak peek into the important topics of Green Building, in 2021 we organized three moderated high-level online-discussions with international experts. They were targeted on a like-minded audience and helped us to reach out to more people as those talks were accessible for everyone around the world. Networking sessions were included afterwards.

Expert Talk #1

Positive Energy Districts - A vision and practice paving the way for carbon free cities, communities and societies
