The Greenbuild International Conference and Expo
The Greenbuild International Conference and Expo was held Oct. 5-7 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. This was the 15th Greenbuild and its theme this year was “Iconic GREEN.” In their welcome article in the event’s program, USGBC CEO Rick Fedrizzi and USGBC board of directors chair Fiona Cousins talked about Los Angeles and the icons of the silver screen it represents. Then: “But a new kind of icon is also coming to define this exceptional city as well as our movement — those that personify excellence and commitment to the best in sustainability practice and innovation. We’re excited to celebrate them all.”
