Synopsis
With green building surging to become a $40 billion market by 2010, there’s never been a better time to explore new technologies for sustainable building. Join a host of experts and industry leaders as they reveal what’s new and what’s next, from building integrated photovoltaics and LED lighting to smart building systems, superinsulating materials, and much, much more. You’ll find sessions packed with proven technologies, innovative ideas and case studies, as well as insights on economics and investment strategies for new green building technologies.
