Call for Proposals for Urban Green Expo
See Change: The New Policy and Financial Environment for Green Building
With a new federal administration and radically altered financial environment, sweeping changes will transform the regulatory and financial climate for green building. On September 22 and 23 the first annual Urban Green Expo and educational conference will explore the opportunities and challenges of this new environment. The focus will be on topics of pressing concern to the densely developed Northeast region, including: retrofitting of existing buildings, integrated design, passive systems, stormwater control, and the built environment as an urban eco-system.
The conference is an extraordinary opportunity for individuals or groups to present their work to the green building community. Proposals for educational sessions are being accepted through May 27. Download full details here. Learn how to become an exhibitor or sponsor. Register for tickets here.

Oppositions: Mass vs. Glass
May 27th at Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House
Many high profile green projects feature all-glass skins, and the public has begun to see these buildings as icons of sustainable architecture. While glass is a highly sustainable material, and daylighting is clearly a plus, are these benefits outweighed by poor energy efficiency? Glass vs. Mass will illuminate both sides of this current debate. Tickets here.
