The Green segment of
the construction industry is expected to climb
from 2 percent of all housing starts in 2005
to between 5 and 10 percent in 2010.
If these numbers are any indication, the practices
advocated by green enthusiasts are well on
their way to becoming mainstream.

The value of green
building construction is projected
to increase to $60 billion by 2010.

GREEN MEGA-TREND AND IT'S IMPACT ON YOUR BUSINESS
PRESENTED
AT BIS 2008
How
can builders practically adapt to this growing
demand and transform their business to incorporate
best practices.
The program explores the effects of the rapid
rise of the green residential and commercial
market and shares best practices that can position
your company for future success. No longer a
niche market, environmentally-responsible building
is the next paradigm shift that will define
the industry. Our panel of experts will guide
builders and developers towards a clearer understanding
of the opportunities and potential pitfalls
of green building including certification,
implementation, risk management and communication.
ARE
YOU READY?
Anecdotally and statistically, the movement
towards environmentally-conscious or “green”
building practices is one of the fastest growing
trends in the industry today. Despite the challenges
of the current market, builders understand the
significance of green building and the increasing
demand for eco-friendly homes but are still
uncertain how this transition could affect the
long term success their business.
Just as the Internet transformed society from
industrial-centric to information-centric or
how outsourcing shifted the business-dynamic
or even how we are living longer because of
a smarter integration of diet, exercise and
medicine; green living is set to become
the next paradigm-shifting idea that will soon
be woven into the fabric of every day life.
Already 80% of corporate America is
expected to be engaged in green activities 16%
of the time. And as one of the key industries
of the global economy, residential and commercial
construction is the bedrock of this movement.
Beyond altruistic motivations or divergent
political agendas, this issue of green
building is one of economic necessity.
This program is not to tell you why green building
is good for eco-systems and bio-diversity, but
how to practically adapt to this growing demand
and how to transform your business to incorporate
these best practices.

distinguishes a green-registered home and its
