By Ryan Duffy, Communications Fellow
We are excited to invite the thought leaders and practitioners from our region to join us next week, April 19th, from 8:30-10:30am for a concise introduction to this groundbreaking new building standard, followed by a roundtable discussion. We are excited to welcome professionals from all sectors of the building industry–owners, engineers, builders and occupants interested in the new standard.
We will be watching a segment from the USGBC's Education platform to bring all in the room up to speed on WELL and then having a moderated discussion on the future, impact and evolution of the standard.
We produced this program in March and had an excellent conversation with owners' reps, architects, and contractors who are considering using the WELL building standard on an actual project – everyone benefited.
Come to this month's presentation to be a part of this exciting new development in the green building movement!
