As the 28,000 attendees of the Greenbuild 09 conference depart from Phoenix today, I’m struck by how active and vibrant our green building community is in the Southwest. While some in other regions may question how green Phoenix could possibly be given our sprawl and heat, the fact is we are one of the leaders in green building.
The halls of the LEED silver Phoenix Convention Center were filled with companies and individuals from the Southwest who incorporate sustainability holistically into every aspect of their construction projects and their own business operations.
