The 2019 Vietnam Green Building Week will take place in Hanoi from September 23 to 27 in response to the World Green Building Week this year.

Aiming to advocate the sustainable construction trend that is in its early stage in Vietnam, the event will feature a host of practical activities to boost awareness of public agencies and people on the role of green buildings, materials, and technologies.

There will be professional training courses, an award ceremony to honor winners of a green architectural design contest for students, as well as seminars on green high-rise residential building and sustainable solutions for high-rises.

Currently, Vietnam has 104 properties with 2.5 million square meter of floor have green building certification, a small proportion considering that 58 million square meters of properties were developed in 2018 alone.
