We know that you belong at Showcase!
Come join your community of practioneers and share your project while learning about others. This year the Showcase will be at the Harvard Art Museums, recently certified LEED Gold.
Join us at the 2015 Green Building Showcase, the Chapter’s premier fall event to showcase and celebrate exceptional green buildings conceived, designed, built & operated by our community of practitioners over the past year. Over 75 projects will be on display. More than 250 leaders in our industry will be in attendance for this open bar reception and entertaining collection of green buildings (submit projects here).
What is this event?
The Green Building Showcase is a gathering for exceptional green buildings completed in the New England region between October, 2013 and October, 2015. Project teams are given the opportunity to display information about their buildings, highlighting the project team members and their successes. Attendees are invited to critically browse the projects and review the displays while networking over cocktails and appetizers.
The hall will be full of display boards of awesome green buildings!
This year, the Showcase will also host our annual Green Building Awards. In the past, these were announced during our Earth Day event. This year we have matched the Green Building Awards with the Green Building Showcase happening in the fall season.
You do not have to enter the awards contest to participate in the Showcase – we encourage project teams to show off their building(s) in the Showcase, and optionally enter the awards competition.
