Nov. 11 | AIA International Region - 2021 Annual Conference
 Innovative Exterior Wall Design in the Age of Climate Change 


Join the American Institute of Architects International Region for our annual conference at ROCA Shanghai Gallery next Thursday on the topic of 'Innovative Exterior Wall Design in the Age of Climate Change '.


Synopsis
China’s rapid urbanization has propelled her GDP ranking from 8th in 1980 to 2nd in 2021. Rapid urbanization has also raised China’s carbon emission ranking to the world’s number 1 today – contributing approximately 30% of the world’s total. The building industry contributes to a total of 51.3% - basically half of China’s total carbon output. China’s national government has set the goals of carbon peak in 2030 and carbon neutral in 2060 in her fight towards climate change. To meet these goals, the building industry must make evolutional and revolutionary changes. These changes will need to take place in all aspects of the industry from building design to building product production and building operation and maintenance. The speakers will present their ideas for carbon reduction through their building designs. The sponsors will also highlight their product's contributions to carbon reduction.
