THE GREENEST BUILDING- FREE FILM NITE Oct 27

Postby Marilyn Williams » Fri Oct 25, 2013 1:21 pm

THE GREENEST BUILDING
FREE FILM
Sunday, October 27, 7 pm
Cliff Bungalow - Mission Community Centre
2201 Cliff St SW (one block west of 5th St at 22nd Ave SW) Entry is free. Includes popcorn.

Over the next 20 years, American's will demolish one third of their existing building stock (over 82 billion square feet) in order to replace seemingly inefficient buildings with energy efficient "green" buildings - a trend no different in Canada. The hour-long documentary "The Greenest Building" poses the question "Is demolition in the name of sustainability really the best use of natural, social, and economic resources? Or, like the urban renewal programs of the 1960's, is this well-intentioned planning with devastating environmental and cultural consequences?"

After the one hour film, some excellent Calgary examples of energy efficient buildings upgrades will be introduced with brief presentations & discussion.
