SBSE
Retreat 2008:
RESETTING
THE AGENDA
Ashurst Lodge at WIT in The New Forest, UK
Wednesday, July 23—Saturday, July 26
| In the
spirit of "Resetting the Agenda," the SBSE New
Forest Retreat will focus on new directions in building
science research and architectural education, organized
around two objectives: to share new and emerging best
practices and to chart a course for SBSE’s engagement
in global discussion on the future of both research and
education. Within this cavernous structure, there should be
room for all: |
 |
New
Topics/ New Approaches
1)
Carbon Neutrality in the Studio and
Classroom
2)
Green Is More than Counting Carbon: Teaching
Topics Other than Energy
Resetting
the Agenda
3)
Forum on the SBSE agenda for architectural
research
4)
Forum on the SBSE agenda for architectural
education.
The
first two tracks are focused on sharing new ideas and
approaches to teaching energy and other green building topics.
Presentation time slots will be short (10–15 min.) and organized into serial sessions,
so that we can accommodate as many presentations as possible,
encouraging everyone's participation in each session.
The
second two tracks are about creating coherent
position statements representing the SBSE’s vision for the
future of building science research and education. The Oxford
Conference is obviously one starting point for this
discussion. We'll also discuss “A
National Green Building Research Agenda." November 2007, by
the USGBC Research Committee, chaired by SBSEer Gail Brager.
See:
http://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=3402
The
content committee will structure forum discussions and
designate speakers on each topic. We are also soliciting
individual presentations and position statements, either
reacting to the Oxford
or USGBC agendas, or charting new territory.
The retreat will be organized around
your proposals for presentations in all tracks and beyond. We are seeking
proposals
(due February 5) from both faculty and students.
