The Sustainable Buildings Consortium is a non-profit research Institute dedicated to:

• Green Buildings and materials research and development
• Public Policy advocacy related to the integration of environmentally preferable standards for buildings and communities

History

The Consortium was created by Manasc Isaac Architects in 1999 to hold the Sustainable Building Symposium. This Symposium is now in its 11th year and has been given to the Alberta Chapter of the CaGBC to run as its premier annual event.

The Symposium was held to raise awareness of and build market demand for, sustainable buildings among public owners in Alberta.

The Symposium Speakers included David Orr, Amory Lovins, Bob Berkabile, Kevin Hydes, and our own Vivian Manasc, Derek Heslop, and Richard Isaac
