IBS Green Day: It's Back!

Green builders have yet another reason to attend the International Builders' Show in Las Vegas Jan. 20-23.

Once again, NAHB celebrates Green Day at this year’s IBS, with education and networking events taking place Wednesday, Jan. 21. More than 30 sessions on green building science, technology and marketing are planned, including in-depth looks at green site development and a special featured speaker, "Green to Gold" author Andrew Winston.

Green Day is sponsored by Kohler, Marvin Windows and Doors and Whirlpool, three companies that supported the event at IBS 2008 in Orlando.

Members can also visit the NAHB Green Action Center next to the BuilderBooks bookstore to learn more about the many components of NAHBGreen, including the online scoring tool, NAHB National Green Building Awards program, and the upcoming NAHB National Green Building Conference.

Green product dealers and manufacturers will welcome builders and remodelers to the trade show floor with giveaways, special guests and other incentives.
