Shanghai--（Business Wire）--China has the largest building construction market in the world and it is growing at an explosive rate. The World Bank estimates that by 2015, half of the world's building construction will take place in China. Chinese government has invested hundreds of billions of dollars in green building in order to combining further economic growth with increased energy supply security and reduced local air pollution. The combination of China's booming construction industry and its critical need for green buildings makes it a very exciting international opportunity for green building products and services.

As China's premier green design and construction conference, Global Green Building (GGB) features a broad range of sessions focusing on design, economics, technologies, project delivery models, and products that lead to high performance buildings and minimize the environmental impacts of our creations. The GGB 2011 aims to provide a highly professional forum that promotes collaborative excellence between stakeholders. It will bring together key stakeholders and expert speakers from around the world to promote eco-friendly design and construction methods and solutions that foster green building development.

GGB will bring together over 200 leaders and specialists from more than 30 countries and it will be the ideal platform to:
