Go Greenbuild!

What are you doing in Chicago? Everyone has been asking. So here goes my explanation. I am here for Greenbuild 2007. What, you now ask, is Greenbuild?

Greenbuild is a three day conference of workshops, vendors, engineers, architects, suppliers and speakers focused on

  Sustainable building means building with the least amount of impact to the environment. One way to do this is to work with the US Green Building Council (USGBC) to make sure your building is LEED (Leadership Energy and Environment Design) certified. This entails compliance in the areas of sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality.
