The Seminar Group is proud to announce one of this year’s most exciting conferences:
Green & High Performance Building.
We’ve all heard of them, and we all hope to be able to tap into the opportunities Green Buildings can offer. But what they are and how they operate is still in the development stages. Certification rules, integration with tax and energy structures, renewable energy inclusions, contracting and insuring Green Building are just a few of the issues that will need to be addressed if you are considering developing Green. Our program will give you the information you need now.
Please plan to join us as our top-notch presenters outline the complete set of issues involved in Green and High Performance Building.
Special lunch time presentation by:
Rob Bennett
William J. Clinton Foundation / Clinton Climate Initiative
