Greenbuild International Conference and Expo is the World’s largest expo and conference dedicated to green building (
www.greenbuildexpo.org). The event is arranged by the U.S. Green Building Council, the organization behind certification system LEED, together with the Canadian Green Building Council. Greenbuild is a great marketing occasion for almost any company in green construction, from architects and material suppliers to renewable technology companies. This year we will put special focus on district energy and green energy solutions for buildings.
Greenbuild comes to Toronto!
This year Greenbuild will be held in Toronto, Canada, and it is the first time that the expo is arranged outside the U.S. The City of Toronto is a leader in the North American market when it comes to implementing new green technologies and is continuously looking to improve its sustainability, and several projects in the city already collaborate with Swedish companies. The U.S. market is also under ongoing rapid change and the green building sector increased by 50 percent from 2008 to 2010 and is currently valued to 63 billion USD. That number is expected to double by 2015.
Most important event of the year
The expo and conference is the most important event within green building in North America , and in 2010 the exhibition had 28 000 visitors and more than 1000 exhibitors. Last year participants in the Swedish delegation visited Chicago either in a sales or market intelligence purpose. Based on the success of that event there will be a new delegation going to Toronto headed by the Swedish Energy Agency and the Swedish Trade Council.
