Green Building Legislative Breakfast

When: Friday, June 4, 2010; 8:00 am - 10:00 am

Where: Tozour Energy Systems, 3606 Horizon Drive, King of Prussia, PA
(LEED-registered building)

Join DVGBC in this green building forum to discuss proposed state legislation aimed at promoting more efficient use of energy, water and natural resources through the use of green building standards for state owned and state funded green buildings.

Specifically, this meeting will provide an opportunity to learn more about House Bill 444 and Senate Bill 728, which will require that high performance green building standards be implemented in most new or remodeled building projects owned or funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  These bills will significantly grow the green building sector, create green jobs, provide healthier work and learning environments, and save taxpayers money through longterm energy savings.

Senator John Rafferty will speak on the merits of the bills currently being considered in the Senate, with commentary and insights to these bills offered by other legislators in attendance.

Other speakers include Beth Heider, senior vice president at Skanska USA and USGBC Board member; Stan Johnson, green building for schools practitioner at the Delaware County Intermediate Unit, Janet Milkman, executive director of the Delaware Valley Green Building Council, and Jan Jarrett, President and CEO of Penn Future.
