NAHB is hosting its seventh annual green building conference in conjunction with Greenprints, the Southeast’s premier green building event sponsored by Atlanta-based Southface Energy Institute. The collaboration between NAHB and Southface will provide an opportunity for sharing cutting-edge green building practices that are tailored to home building industry attendees.
“The upcoming green building conference will highlight environmentally friendly, resource-efficient solutions for homes around the country,” said Mark Fitzgerald, executive vice president of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association. “The conference also will allow Atlanta to shine in the success of its own green building program.”
Noting that the Atlanta metropolitan area is projected to grow by 2.5 million people over the next 25 years, Fitzgerald said that, “it is essential to conserve our area’s natural resources to accommodate this growth. Constructing more green homes in Atlanta will certainly help contribute to this effort.”
