About Us:........the SBS centre
The Sustainable Building Support centre is an intermediate organisation that organises activities to promote and develop sustainable building. It can be excursions, workshops, publishing books and magazines, international advice or expert support. The (virtual) centre is based in The Netherlands, but operates international. Its main activities are initiated and co-ordinated by Ronald Rovers.
The SBS centre facilitates and combines international activities of a leading group of senior experts in the field of Sustainable Building.
The Expert teams members represent all fields of knowledge in Sustainable Building. They have collected experiences in a range of projects, national and international and were at the roots of many of the leading projects and developments in the Netherlands.
