Rod Butler will be speaking at Housing Washington 2010 on the Evergreen Sustainable Development Standard along with Jim Weddell of Common Ground. Rod and Jim will present the top ten green building features that give the most “bang for your buck,” the most cost savings in building operations, and the greatest comfort and health for residents. They will also look at two simple cost-effective paths through the ESDS checklist for urban and rural projects and a model for evaluating cost savings of green features. Real-world case studies and examples will be used throughout.
