Environmental Design + Construction - October 2008 - (Page 46) GET READY FOR VISIT ED+C AT BOOTH #1833 IN BOSTON NEXT MONTH. BY MICHELLE HUCAL, LEED AP, SENIOR EDITOR, ED+C tects, designers, educators, facility managers and other building professionals are attracted to this event for the extensive educational offerings and the growing green product exhibit hall (more than 1,400 exhibitors will be on-hand). While you’re there, please be sure to stop by the Environmental Design + Construction (ED+C) and Sustainable Facility (SF) Booth #1833 to see what’s new with our magazines. Our team will be honoring some of the greatest green products and projects this year. First, ED+C will celebrate the 2008 Excellence in Design Award winners (see the September 2008 issue of ED+C). Both magazines will also announce the winners of the first annual Readers’ Choice Awards (vote now at http://vote.edcmag.com). This year, ED+C and SF will also produce a Greenbuild GREEN PRODUCT BUZZ GUIDE, mailed in the November issues or picked up at our booth or one of our partners’ booths. Greenbuild has expanded its educational programming (more than 100 sessions are available), LEED workshops and green building tours, so it might be difficult to manage your time. To help, Greenbuild offers a new scheduling process. But in addition to the outstanding keynotes and master speaker series, some sessions that caught my eye include: “Beyond Platinum: Revolutionary Green,” “Bringing Green Homes to the Mass Market,” “Carbon Neutral by 2010: How a Fortune Firm Identifies, Reduces and Offsets its Footprint,” “Deconstructing Disaster,” “Does Green Pay Off?,” “How Green Community Policy Shapes Architecture,” and “Implementing Green Operations in Large Portfolios - Lessons Learned from Market Leaders.” I’m looking forward to attending my seventh Greenbuild to see what’s new and green and hope to see you there. For more information, visit www.greenbuildexpo. org and check out the products below that will be exhibiting at the show. Additional coverage and products will be featured in ED+C’s November 2008 issue, too. Greenbuild 2008 is on the immediate horizon. This key industry conference and expo produced by the U.S. Green Building Council will be held in Boston, Nov. 19-21, 2008.
