TORONTO, May 2, 2013 /CNW/ - Planned as a first in a series of forums on sustainable development, Sustainability, Durability, and Design: The Future of Building Envelope, kicked off the series organized by Holcim Canada, the University of Toronto's Department of Civil Engineering and the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design. The forum brought together well over 100 professionals from engineering, architecture, planning, development and academia to discuss how urbanization is driving development and how to address efficiency needs in both new construction and existing stocks of older buildings. Holcim and UofT are aiming to develop a white-paper from the day's discussions and organize a similar forum this fall to explore some of the more detailed topics that were explored in the first forum.
