Working Toward A Green Future

Nov-4-2009 By Barbara Zak

Just to let you know, On Thursday, November 5th at 12:30 EST, you are invited to a free sneak-preview Webinar, hosted by Robert Watson, GreenerBuildings.com Editor, and “Father of LEED.” It’s called “Building a Sustainable Future: Progress and Trends Toward Improving the Environmental Footprint of Commercial Buildings.”

In case you didn’t know, LEED means, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.  It is the Green Building rating system.

The webinar starts at 12:30 pm EST. Here’s the Registration link

During this 60 minute webinar, Robert Watson will present the findings of the soon to be released, 2009 Green Building Market and Impact Report that was sponsored by Johnson Diversey. This report is an integrated assessment of the land, water, energy, material and indoor environmental impacts of the LEED for New Construction (LEED NC), Core & Shell (LEED CS) and Existing Building (LEED EB) standards.

All registrants will have access to a download of the report.

Johnson Diversey President & CEO Ed Lonergan, opens the webinar by highlighting the importance of sustainability in today’s business environment.  He is offering insights and examples, of the company’s work toward improving the sustainability of its customers’ facilities, as well as its own. This presentation will detail Johnson Diversey’s own focus on LEED certification for many of its facilities worldwide.

In these fast-changing times, and with the ever changing economy, it is imperative, that  we have measurement around whether green building choices provide a very high return on investment, and a significant decrease in environmental impact.

I hope you can help in spread the word about this event. Tell anyone  you think would be interested in learning more about green commercial buildings, and corporate sustainability.

Sure, hope you can attend.  They are working toward a better and greener tomorrow for us all!
