For World Green Building Week 2013, Cundall hosted workshops in 16 different locations across the world and asked the 250+ attendees the question - What will drive sustainable buildings in 2020?

1. For World Green Building Week 2013, Cundall hosted workshops in 16
different locations across the world and asked the 250+ attendees the
question - What will drive sustainable buildings in 2020? Using Cundall’s
Cool Wall facilitation process, from a choice of 20 drivers we asked the
participants to vote for what they thought the top 5 have been in the past
10 years for sustainable buildings, then to consider what they thought
would drive sustainable buildings in 2020.
