Session III
The Nexus of Politics and Green Building

Tuesday, June 3, 2008
7:30 – 10:30 AM
Grand Hyatt Washington
1000 H Street, NW


What will be the primary driver for green building – end users or governmental entities? What are local jurisdictions planning for green building requirements for the private sector (mandates or incentives) and for their own building programs? How will this affect new and existing commercial buildings in the Metro Washington Region? Is green building coming sooner or later? Find out what is the future of green building standards for commercial construction in the Region and position your company or jurisdiction for success!

The panelists will discuss the following topics:

  • A model green building program from a trend setting local government
  • Developers cutting edge response to green building
  • How local governments in the national capital region are addressing “green”
  • A response to green building requirements locally
  • How tenants view the importance of “green”
