Join Us for the 2nd Annual Building Green Conference!
We've gathered the experts in one conference!
Join architects, engineers, contractors, facility managers, technicians, and testing agencies for a day of continuing education and discovery. This conference focuses on economic development in the green economy, regional building, testing requirements, and green building standards and codes.
Why Attend? Consider these facts:
- The Annual Building Green Conference is your go-to conference for
accurate, sustainable building information. "The overall green building market (both
non-residential and residential) is likely to more than double from
today's $36-49 billion to $96-140 billion by 2013." ( McGraw Hill
Construction (2009).
- Green
building has unprecedented levels of government initiatives and a
heightened residential demand for green construction with sustainable
materials.
- Building green is
one of the solutions for saving building operating costs and making a building more desirable in the marketplace.
- The Green Economy is Growing
and sustainable building encompasses many components such as initial
site preparation, environmental impact, building design, incorporating
renewable energy, and measuring results which impact regional economic
development.
- Building green is the future.
Construction encompasses a workforce of 120 million people and billions
of transactions each day.
- Building Green is one of the solutions for protecting
natural resources, addressing climate change. "In comparison to the
average commercial building: "Green buildings consume 26% less energy,
Green buildings have 13% lower maintenance costs, Green buildings have
27% higher occupant satisfaction, Green buildings have 33% less
greenhouse gas emissions" (GSA Public Buildings Service (2008).
- Building Green is one of the solutions for creating a more sustainable world.
