Each year we hold the Green Building Challenge to highlight exemplary new construction and renovation projects in NE Ohio. This session will recognize this year's winners in the categories of energy conservation, water management, reduced transportation emissions and healthy buildings. We will learn about the progressive, cutting-edge design and construction methods used to achieve superior results and demonstrate the possibilities in green building and alternative transportation options. Our speakers will discuss how they reduced their overall environmental footprint through these projects and created interesting, comfortable spaces for occupants. There will be ample time for Q&A and open discussion.
