July Forum = learning about sustainable building standards.

When someone says, “green building standard,” what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? Odds are you said “LEED,” but did you know that there are other building standards out there?   For example, check out the sample list of building standards below. Can you name others?

• LEED
• Passive House
• Enterprise Green Communities
• National Green Building Standard
• Energy Star
• Green Globes
• SERF – Society of Environmentally Responsible Facilities
• EarthCraft
• Austin Energy Green Building

  We were curious to learn more about other sustainable building standards currently in the industry. As such, at the July 17^th Forum we’ll have speakers present on the following topics: — Passive House — The National Green Building Standard — Green Globes — Enterprise Green Communities   Date:  July 17, 2013 Time:  6:30 – 8:00pm Place:  Hafele Showroom, 25 E 26th St., Manhattan, NY 10010   It’s bound to be in interesting discussion.
