Programme Highlights

Sustainable construction materials are vital components in building practices that aim to minimize environmental impact while promoting resource efficiency and long-term durability. These materials, which include recycled metals, sustainably sourced timber, bamboo, and low-impact concrete alternatives, are designed to reduce waste and energy consumption throughout their lifecycle. By incorporating sustainable materials, the construction industry can significantly lower its carbon footprint, enhance the health and comfort of indoor environments, and contribute to the resilience of communities. The shift towards sustainable construction not only addresses pressing environmental challenges but also fosters innovation and economic growth, paving the way for a more sustainable built environment.

With over 32 years of experience in tall buildings, Ir Dr. Goman Ho is an Arup Fellow and the former global leader of the Arup Tall Buildings Skills Network, as well as the regional leader for the Seismic Skills Network. His expertise will shed light on the importance of sustainable materials in the construction industry and present innovative solutions that can substantially reduce environmental impact. Attendees will gain valuable insights into sustainable construction materials and their practical applications.
