Making the Business Case for Green Building
Rebecca L. Flora, AICP, LEED-AP
Executive Director, Green Building Alliance – Pittsburgh
Integrating green building components into your design doesn’t have to be cost-prohibitive. Using case studies and other examples, including Pittsburgh’s David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Ms. Flora will provide insights into the real costs of going green, how to reduce green-related costs and the value-added benefits of green building.

The Impact of Energy Performance Feedback
Dustin Eplee and Matthew Rooke, Burt Hill
With new links between Revit and IES <VE>, rapid energy model construction is providing architects and engineers with unprecedented energy performance feedback  - and helping to shape design decisions. Find out how high end energy analysis is impacting building design and why it is quickly becoming an important aspect of the building process.

Here to Help – Pennsylvania’s Green Initiatives
Maureen Guttman, AIA
Executive Director, Governor’s Green Government  Council
From green building to sustainable energy, Pennsylvania is emerging as a leader in the national environmental debate. Learn more about the state’s efforts on this front, including innovative funding opportunities and other resources that are available to firms and companies that incorporate green technology into building design and construction.

Going Green - What’s the Risk?
Robert Hughes, Esquire
Ames & Gough
Presented at the City View Bar & Grill Reception and Dinner
Like anything, green building offers its own sets of risks. How you evaluate and manage those risks could mean the difference between project success or significant cost overruns.  Over dinner at the City View Bar & Grill, you’ll gain legal perspectives on common green building concerns, how to avoid them and what to do if you find you’ve miscalculated your risk.
