Building a Greener Adirondacks
We thank all those that participated in the Building a Greener Adirondacks conference held October 3rd at the Wild Center. The event brought contractors, architects, engineers, designers, building professionals and green building practitioners together to share information on current and future green building products, concepts and technologies.
If you missed the conference, or wish to review a presentation, the slideshows below were made available by the conference presenters.
We have created a blog at The Wild Center that we hope will be used as a clearinghouse for sharing green building information and as a resource for people looking for green building professionals, services and products in the region. If you have a service, or idea you want others to know about, please feel free to comment on the New Path blog, link to it, suggest a link, or tell us about someone we should write about etc. We plan to create categories for energy, builders, etc so readers can quickly link to learn about area providers.
