Hope I'm not over selling this but I have been part of a team putting together what may be the best looking conference I have seen. You can read the bulletin below but when I was asked to put together a LEED professional track I thought of the most interesting folks in the state to consider participating.
They all said yes to my amazement- so we will have an all star cast of sustainable builders providing an inside scoop from Award winning Architect H:T Design, the glamorous David Johnston and his Zero Energy Home musings, the ever cool Brian Dunbar of CSU's IBE. We'll cover the pioneering LEED for schools projects, learn about a radical energy design called Solar Banking and hear about the real world of planting green roofs in Colorado.
The second day I have assembled three ground breaking building tech companies, all featured on Inhabitat.com, a Passive House seminar, and some serious energy efficiency for your existing home with everybody's favorite Paul Kriescher of Lightly Treading. Hot Damn, I should print tee shirts.
And now the blub-- Attend the Colorado Renewable Energy Conference (CREC), themed “Local Action—Global Solutions,” in Fort Collins June 2-4, 2011.
Hosted by the Colorado Renewable Energy Society (CRES), the conference offers an in-depth exploration of the extraordinary work done in Colorado and Northern Front Range. Over 50 sessions and 70 speakers on renewable energy, sustainable building and technologies, environmental science, and more will be presented by foremost experts from throughout Colorado and across the nation.
Discover how Colorado is a world leader in the new green economy with an entire Thursday dedicated to professional development with credentialing tracks, including LEED-accredited professionals, real estate “EcoBrokers,” engineers, educators, and community-based energy development.
On Friday, explore public policy and governmental initiatives in comprehensive sessions with experts from NREL, CSU, and industry-leading companies. Also on tap is a tour of some favorite green sites and tastes of Fort Collins. Celebrate local and state renewable-energy innovators as well as CRES’ 15-year anniversary at the awards banquet.
Bring the family on Saturday for a day full of hands-on fun and how-to help for green building, solar energy, electric transportation, local action, green companies, and much more.
CRES gratefully acknowledges the leadership role of the City of Fort Collins in helping host CREC.
