The Okanagan Science & Technology Council has been working with its regional partners to develop a cluster for "Clean Tech Construction." This initiative recognizes the fact that construction has been a driving force in the Okanagan Valley and that designing and constructing green buildings is the most efficient and cost-effective means of reducing greenhouse gases and other negative environmental factors. This is based on the fact that it far easier and less expensive to conserve a kilowatt of energy than it is to generate a new one.

The Okanagan Science & Technology Council has recently been active in supporting the activities of its members in securing a more sustainable environment both here in the Okanagan and elsewhere. In particular, OSTEC was asked to lead the Canada British Columbia Green Building Exchange to Seoul and Beijing in May of 2008. A number of BC's and Canada's top experts in the field participated in these workshops and they have graciously agreed to share their presentations through our website. Please remember that this material is still the property of its creators and they should be acknowledged whenever it is used or referenced. We have also included other presentations on the subject of sustainable design and we hope to continue to grow this archive in the coming months.
