The third edition of Europe’s ‘LEED community reunion’, GBCI Europe Circle, comes in two parts. The first part, Circle 2024 Athens, whose theme is “Healthy Human Habitat”, investigates social value in the built environment using a four-pillar framework: nature, human health, community and economy.

• Day 01 Reception at the Piraeus Tower, one of the most storied urban rejuvenation projects in greater Athens.
• Day 02 Sessions at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center’s “Lighthouse”, pictured. The LEED Platinum SNFCC was the first building in Greece to pursue LEED certification. (Image courtesy of SNFCC/Yiorgis Yerolymbos)
• Day 03 Tours & Experiences, featuring The Ellinikon, “the greatest urban redevelopment project in Europe”, the historic Prodea HQ and the Greek National Gallery of Art.

The Day 02 Sessions will also feature Europe’s first introduction to the new LEED v5 BD+C rating system by Melissa Baker, USGBC’s SVP of Technical Core, and Peter Templeton, USGBC President and CEO. LEED v5 is the first new version of LEED in 10 years!
