Green Building Focus Returns September 15-16

Stephen — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 11:18:06 +0000

In the wake of several natural disasters that have devastated many communities around the Southeast, a massive recovery and rebuilding effort is currently underway.

This year’s Green Building Focus Conference & EXPO will be dedicated to this sustainable rebuilding effort. Case studies of best practices in disaster recovery will showcase communities that have emerged better and greener than they were before. Educational tracks will include topics on federal assistance for families in need, an insurance panel discussion, workshops on strategies for designing and building healthier, more sustainable homes and examples of affordable, sustainable and livable communities. A real time design charrette on day two of the conference will showcase the process of redesigning and rebuilding a sustainable community. Experts from around the world who have been through this process before will be working shoulder to shoulder with regional professionals as a teaching tool to show communities how the recovery effort should work.
