Ryerson Architecture's 2017-2018 lecture series will continue this week, with talks from Ontario's first Chief Energy Conservation Office, Peter Love, and Helena Casanova, a partner at Rotterdam-based architecture firm Casanova+Hernandez.

On Wednesday, January 24th, Peter Love will deliver a lecture titled Climate Change, Conservation and What You Can Do, exploring climate change and the role of man-made greenhouse gas emissions. The lecture will look into the primary sources of these emissions, and ways we can minimize energy use to contribute to a cleaner environment.
