Research

  • Although at that time the terminology "Pro-Active Approach" did not yet exist, already by the middle of 1995 a special status had been given to the Theme "Sustainable Construction" within the CIB Programme. It was decided to make it the overall theme for the 14th Triennial CIB World Building Congress in 1998 and a number of the then existing CIB Task Groups and Working Commissions were asked to initiate activities related to this theme.

  • Sustainable Building Resource - A site dealing with sustainable building design. To share information about events, research, projects, links. For architects, organizations, researchers, students, universities.  http://www.iris.ba.cnr.it/sustain/welcome.htm
  • University of Florida - Sustainability Activities such as Center for Construction and Environment, Greening the University of Florida, Sustainable Alachua County, Florida Green Design and Construction  Website all can be reached at: http://s14.cfaa.ufl.edu/centers/sustainable/
  • University of Strathclyde, Department of Civil Engineering:
    We have activated our research web site on Sustainability of Buildings. Itcan be found at:http://www.ce.strath.ac.uk/sustain . The web site is envisaged as a framework for presentation of our research project. It will be further developed to include all research material and the results. We hope that it will be helpful in initiating and maintaning contacts with all those who are interested or who work in this research field. All comments and suggestions are welcome.
