- Building Energy 12
Mar 6, 2012
9:00AM
Seaport World Trade Center
200 Seaport Boulevard, Boston
The Northeast’s most established and most cross-disciplinary renewable energy and high performance building conference is back. Sponsored by The Northeastern Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA), the Building Energy conference features high-level presentations by building science gurus, sustainable design visionaries, and renewable energy policy wonks. Participants and speakers are on the leading edge of the green building and renewable energy movements; many are nationally and even internationally renowned.
While geared primarily towards professionals, energy activists and interested building owners are welcome. There is an Energy Basics workshop being held on Tuesday that is appropriate for non-professionals (I’ll be there to fill in some holes in my knowledge of building science) and the trade-show would appeal to anyone considering a green building project.
I hope to see you there. You can also follow the conference on twitter using #be12 (Yes, I’ll be tweeting live from the conference).
