Friend and colleague Ethan at Green Brooklyn took a trip to the Green Buildings New York conference last week. His take:
Anyone attending last week’s Green Buildings New York green building conference and convention at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, would be hard-pressed to call green building in New York City a fringe movement.
While the “regular” building convention was probably twice the size of GBNY the buzz was certainly on in the green section of the event.
From solar and renewable energy companies to green roof and green wall companies to sustainable lighting and cleaning products, the event was basically a top-to-bottom exercise in greening buildings of all sizes and varieties.
It’s worth checking out his post to get the details on who was showing what there–and to see some photos of the whole spread.
