Greenbuild 2007: Green Goes Mainstream

摘要

With more than 22,000 professionals in attendance at the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) Greenbuild 2007 Intl. Conference and Expo in Chicago's McCormick Place West last November, there's no doubt: Green has become mainstream. The conference featured dozens of guest speakers who talked about environmental trends in the buildings industry. Attendees came from all over (66 countries were represented), according to USGBC Director of Communications Taryn Holowka. "This [past] year's conference theme was 'transforming our community,' which encourages people to think environmentally beyond a single building," she says.
