Green Roofs Australia www.greenroofs.wordpress.com is hosting a series of lectures across Australia by Prof. Manfred Kohler.
Prof Kohler will be covering the following topics
1. The 30-year history of modern green roof and green wall development in Germany (where the leading city now has 14% of its commercial buildings with green roofs).
2. The significance of the practice of combining green roof and green wall culture with solar power collection — for much-improved efficiency. Germany is pioneering in this important field, as the world’s solar energy production costs are lowering by about 40% in the next two years.
3. The role of the World Green Roof Infrastructure Network, which Professor Koehler chairs from Germany (with a world headquarters now being set up in Toronto, Canada). Green Roofs Australia Inc is a foundation member with six other national bodies.
With proposed green roof and green wall company displays.
Manfred will also be speaking in Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne during his time in Australia, for further details please see Green Roofs Australia web site www.greenroofs.wordpress.com
Professor Koehler’s visit to Australia is at a significant time for Australian global contributions against climate change and improvement of the built-environment .
