Green Building Resource Center Grand Opening Ceremony

Join the local environmental community for the official ribbon cutting for the Green Building Resource Center, to be followed by an office warming for Global Green USA and a free raffle of green building products from 5PM – 7PM.

Alternative Building Materials: Facts and Fictions

As green building strategies go mainstream, the demand for alternative building materials is on the rise. But meeting this demand can be tricky, as manufacturers must battle cost pressures, greenwashing by competitors, the rigors of independent certification, and the building industry’s traditional fear of trying new things. Come hear our panel of leading manufacturers, distributors and retailers of green building products – David Hertz of Syndesis, Anthony Grosso of Nubucus and Ellen Strickland of Living Green – discuss how they overcome these challenges, emerging trends consumers should be aware of, and the elusive search for the “perfect” green material.
