The Second International Conference on Green & Sustainable Technology is a technical conference for engineers, scientists, researchers and practitioners in engineering, renewable energy technologies, architecture, construction, construction materials, and related fields. This year’s conference will have three tracks: Green Energy, Green Construction, and Green Technology.

Two of today’s major energy and environmental challenges are reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the operation of today’s built environment and in the creation of tomorrow’s. The conference will bring together energy professionals to discuss ideas, findings and results, work in progress, and experiences relating to green and sustainable technology in renewable energy and in the design, construction and operation of homes, commercial and industrial buildings, and other structures, including infrastructure.

We invite you to submit technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing specific issues. Topics can be discussed in terms of concepts, state of the art, research, standards, implementations, experiments under way, applications, and industrial case studies. Please submit complete, unpublished papers that are not under review in any other conference or journal.

All tracks are open to both research and industry contributions.

The conference is organized by the Center for Energy Research & Technology at North Carolina A&T State University.
