This symposium will provide a forum for U.S. and German companies, developers, architects, engineers and designers to share expertise and discuss experiences with their transatlantic counterparts.

Protecting the environment means much more than ensuring clean air and pure water. It is a way of life and a way of thinking. Baden-Württemberg’s long tradition of inventiveness and engineering expertise has led to an energy productivity level that is 33% higher than Germany as a whole. Baden-Württemberg is a leading European region in terms of innovation and is devoting considerable resources to the research and testing of efficient technologies such as fuel cells technology and renewable energies. Efficient building technologies are used in specific projects with various countries to raise awareness of such technologies. This technology transfer is key for promoting sustainable development in emerging economic regions of the world. Baden-Württemberg intends to increase its energy efficiency still further to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and make a positive contribution to climate protection.

Initiators of the symposium are zafh.net and Baden-Württemberg International

Zafh.net is the the Center of Applied Research on Sustainable Energy Technology. Founded in 2002 as a research network with the focus on energy consumption and energy-efficiency of buildings, city districts and regions. The target of the zafh.net is to extremely reduce the energy consumption of buildings making them more and more energy-efficient and sustainable.

Baden-Württemberg International is tasked with fostering and expanding international cooperation for the Baden- Württemberg‘s business, education, and research communities.
