Future of the Building Industry - Opportunities of an Aging Population

Join the Durham School for the 2022 'Future of the Building Industry' (FoBI) Workshop, scheduled for May 23-24, 2022, at the Scott Conference Center in Omaha, Nebraska!  This 1.5-day workshop features invited speakers and participants from academia and industry, coming together to brainstorm and take actions towards realizing high-performance, sustainable and healthy ‘smart infrastructure’ of the future.  Each year, the FoBI workshop theme is expected to change; the 2022 workshop aims to connect research on indoor environmental quality, sensing and controls to the current challenges and opportunities of living environments for aging adults.
