Register to Attend 9th Annual Sustainability Conference: Nov. 16

Posted on October 26, 2017 by gvinski

The American Society of Civil Engineers Pittsburgh Section, Sustainable Pittsburgh, through its Champions for Sustainability business network, and Environmental Water Resources Institute Pittsburgh Chapter are teaming up once again to host the 9th Annual Sustainability Conference on Thursday, November 16 at the August Wilson Center in downtown Pittsburgh.  The theme of this year’s conference is Engineering a Sustainable Economy: Innovating Solutions for the 21st Century.  Sustainable Pittsburgh members receive discounted admission.  Register today!

Across the globe, businesses and public agencies are implementing sustainable engineering practices to reduce ecological impacts, optimize social benefits, stand out with stakeholders, and stimulate financial and social return on investments. Planners, engineers, and scientists are achieving these goals through recent innovations such as building information modelling, interconnected systems integration, and “smart” infrastructure data analytics. These types of innovative sustainable practices are resulting in palpable cost savings as well as achieving social and ecological goals.

Significant cost savings and related economic benefits are being achieved by incorporating sustainable practices within procurement approaches, engineering design standards, and operations. As expectations for sustainable design and performance gain momentum in public policy and the marketplace, planning and design professionals are increasingly stepping up to plan and build more sustainable communities in which to live, work, and play.

Keynote Session: Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure
– John Stanton, President and CEO, Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure

Keynote Session: Driving Change Through Sustainability in Los Angeles County California
– Rossana D’Antonio, Deputy Director, Los Angeles County Department of Public Work
