	FIRE Although fortunately no one was hurt, the fire at the faculty of architecture last week has left its marks. As we're still dealing with temporary housing and lost materials, we won't always be able to respond to your emails and submitted abstracts right away. We hope you understand.

Are climate change and the depletion of natural resources a problem? Perhaps. We prefer to see them as the ultimate opportunity to do things right, the lever to propel sustainable development.
We invite everyone to join us in presenting solutions rather than problems at SASBE2009.

The past years will be remembered as a period in which we were confronted with images of the unprecedented environmental problems that are threatening humankind. Now it's time for solutions.

Striving for efficiency has delivered performances close to 100%, but not in sustainability. We need to do things differently. Effectiveness before efficiency, creativity before directives.

The emphasis at SASBE conferences is on an integrated approach via different disciplines and different scales. SASBE2009 focuses on smart solutions for the built environment in a changing climate. It supports a positive approach that uses climate change and limited resources as a stimulus for better planning, design and construction, and the development of smart, clean and effective technologies, cradle to cradle.

Follow the example of a succession of great people who put sustainability on the political agenda and present the world with your own solutions at SASBE2009. Submit your paper, come to Delft from 15 to 19 June 2009 and join us in making the built environment a pleasant place for everyone.
