World Green Building Week 2017

Click to enlarge

World Green Building Week is an annual event that empowers the green building community to deliver green buildings for everyone, everywhere. Buildings can be heroes in the fight against climate change – and so can you.

Some of New Zealand’s most heroic buildings will be in the spotlight this week. The New Zealand Green Building Council is offering a wide range of free events to celebrate World Green Building Week 2017.

This year, the activities are designed to share knowledge and celebrate those buildings that are helping the fight against climate change. Event information will be added as it becomes available.
