“This program is a great opportunity for scholars, lecturers and students to share their knowledge and experience in construction industry and particularly in green building practice. Personally, I am so happy because of the successful cooperation of the 4 faculties. For now, Faculty of Architecture and Planning is the first one to include Green Building in its curricula. I hope that it will promote the education and training of green building in Vietnam. To the students, especially those who study construction and architecture, I hope that you can develop your awareness for the sake of our country’s sustainable development. Your green ideas will help to make a green economy of a sustainable Vietnam”, said Dr. Nguyen Cao Lanh, NUCE.
