Erica Hartmann presented BioBE research at the 2016 BuildWell conference in San Francisco. Held at the beautiful Golden Gate Club, BuildWell brings together architects, builders, financial experts, manufacturers, and researchers to discuss how to make buildings healthier for occupants and for the planet. In addition to BioBE research, topics included green (presented by John Warner of the Warner Babcock Institute) and biomimicy (presented by Janine Benyus of the Biomimicry Institute). All of the presentations painted a bright picture of the future of buildings, where materials are bio-inspired, multifunctional, and net-zero or net-negative carbon.
