 Directions

We have an exciting lineup of speakers and discussions centered around sustainable design for the built environment scheduled during the SEAoO Annual Conference. Whether you are a structural engineer or an architect you won't want to miss this event with opportunities for you to learn more about where you fit into the equation of sustainability or how you can start making changes today to improve your design. We will hear from the SEAoO Sustainable Design Committee, ACI 323 committee chair on low carbon concrete, and a panel discussion on life cycle assessments and embodied carbon calculation.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Become familiar with why sustainability is important on a global, industry, firm, and personal level.

  2. Become familiar with how sustainability is transforming the built environment.

  3. Become familiar with what you and your firm can do TODAY.

The sessions will run parallel to the annual SEAoO conference but you do not need to register to the full conference to attend the sustainability only sessions!
