Ecobuild panel in DC on "Reconstructed Buildings"


Rob Cassidy | November 29, 2012

Join me at Ecobuild on Wed., Dec 5, 10:15 to 11:45, at the DC Convention Center, to learn about "High-Performance Reconstructed Buildings: The 99% Solution." I'll be moderating a panel with three top-flight experts: Jean Carroon, FAIA, LEED AP, of Goody Clancy, Boston, who will discuss the link between historic buildings and sustainability; Bradley T. Carmichael, PE, of Hoffmann Architects, Inc., Hamden, Conn., on the "Life Cycle of the Modernist Building Envelope"; and Lewis J. Goetz, FAIA, FIIDA, of LEO A DALY, on how sustainable reconstruction can reduce energy use, save resources and money, and provide more comfort for tenants and occupants. You can earn 1.5 AIA/CES Discovery learning units (HSW/SD) by attending.
