The "Six Ps" of Sustainable Buildings

 

The Ontario Green Building Resource Centre – a not for profit organization will examine the relationship between green buildings, green products, green construction and skill development.

 

A destination for inspiration, advice and practical problem-solving around commercial sustainable building best practices.  A place to develop and exchange expertise, knowledge and better practices. It will reduce the liability and risk elements of green buildings and development for the manufactures, trade, builders, contractors, design industry and government.

 

The centre is where anyone and everyone - industry professionals, building owners, government representatives, and members of the general public - can come to learn about the “six Ps” of sustainable building: products, practices, projects, policies, performance and service providers.
