Innovations in building regulation and control for advancing sustainability in buildings (I)

This session brings together policy-makers, government officials, researchers and others to present perspectives on how innovation in building regulation and control, such as performancebased approaches, are currently being used to advance sustainability concepts in buildings, and where and how we might see further innovation in the coming years. In this grouping of session papers, representatives of the Inter-jurisdictional Regulatory Collaboration Committee (IRCC) and the International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB) Task Group 79 discuss a range of policies implements in their countries or the focus of research and development in their respective countries. Related papers can be found in the corresponding set of session papers (Innovations in Building Regulation and Control for Advancing Sustainability in Buildings (II)).
