A symposium of strategies, solutions and best practices in buildings, infrastructure, and urban planning.

Please join the Bow Valley Builders & Developers Association and the Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley for the 2nd Annual Building for Sustainability Symposium.

Learn about building or designing retrofits for minimum climate greenhouse gas emissions and maximum climate resilience while increasing attainability and affordability - and addressing the requirements of building codes and step codes.

You will hear from diverse voices on how appropriate urban design, land use planning, building location, and density can support environmental, social AND economic sustainability.

Understand how to create a less polarized, more resilient community 

We look forward to hosting you as we replicate the success of our inaugural symposium in 2023, which drew over 170 delegates from the Bow Valley, Alberta, and across Canada.
