Greetings from Greenbuild!
We are at the biggest convention and most fun gathering of green building professionals in the world. Well, this one is great here in LA but it will actually be better in Boston in November next year.
I hope you save the date and get it into your budget to attend Greenbuild in Boston – it is an amazing opportunity to be in an incredible density of connected green building advocates.
Yesterday we heard from USGBC on the launch of “arc” a new software platform to connect building data and create a new wave of competitive energy to improve building performance. Arc will support LEED Cities – a new system to engage “beyond the building” and ensure our entire built environment improves on sustainability metrics. It was exciting!
So far, in the first 24h of Greenbuild, 6,434 hours of aggregate credential maintenance have been logged – there are a lot of great sessions going on and over 30 Massachusetts-based professionals are delivering education sessions here. Not only are we wicked green, we're also wicked smaht!
I look forward to seeing you at some of our events in the coming weeks. Definitely sign up for our Healthy Materials Summit on 10/26 at Google in Cambridge, and consider joining some of our upcoming tours and service projects.
For those heading to ABX in November, please review the links below: we want you to sign up to these courses! They are going to be great – take a look and register.
Thank you again for participating in our mission to transform the built environment into net positive effects for our society and our planet.
Thanks,
Grey
