DONE 2 - Cost Effective & Practical: Implementing High Performance, Green New Homes

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 · 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM

Builders and designers are often at a loss when implementing the various high performance and green technologies available today. Whatever pushes you toward green and high performance: higher sales, environmental concerns, or building performance and durability, many walk away overwhelmed, not enlightened, or at a financial loss for learning the hard way. In this session we will take a look at what is feasible and how to go about it. How do you get staff and subs to buy in to new approaches?

By attending this session, participants will

Improve your ability to determine when and where building performance and green practices should be incorporated into design and construction
Make sense of some of the more common pitfalls in construction today and learn how implementing green and building performance measures can be cost-effective and reduce call backs
Have a “road map” for making more informed decisions on how to apply new technologies and green components for increased profits and satisfied customers
