2015 Rocky Mountain Green Conference Doubles Previous Attendance Records
More than five hundred construction and design leaders gathered in Denver in early April for the 2015 Rocky Mountain Green Conference to discuss the state of green building in Colorado and the issues affecting the city. The event was hosted the Colorado chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council, which said attendance was up by more than 50% over the previous year.
Don Saal, chair of the board of directors of USGBC Colorado, attributed the increased participation to expanded outreach in the commercial real estate and developer market and a highly educated Colorado building community. “The Rocky Mountain region is one of the most savvy development entities from the sustainability side,” he said. “They get it much more so than some of the other markets we compete with.”
