WORKSHOPS
A. Redeveloping Industrial Areas
This workshop will provide information and insight on city and state programs to help developers assess, safely clean up and sustainably reuse environmentally contaminated industrial and residential properties.

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and Energy Star are among the new technologies that incorporate environmental design into residential and commercial development. Experts will detail how building green decreases contaminants and curbs energy consumption.
