Assessing the Economics of Green Building and Energy Efficiency
CTAC, Irwindale
Does green building cost more? We don't think it has to. Come learn some strategies for balancing current and future cost drivers, creative approaches to managing the cost of building green, and some techniques for evaluating design decisions that go beyond initial cost considerations.
Selling Energy Efficiency and/or Green Building to Building Owners
CTAC, Irwindale
One of the biggest challenges currently facing the building sector is weighing long-term cost decisions with the realities of today's budget constraints. There is a common misconception that green buildings always cost more than conventional construction. We'll discuss the myths and realities of these costs as well as explore methods for redefining the bottom-line driven decision-making process.
