Market Shift?
The show is over. Greenbuild 2009 has come and gone. I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I’m finally glad to be coming home, seeing my family and sleeping in my own bed (not to mention actually sleeping). On the other hand, there were a lot of great products to see, people to talk to and new ideas to share — all of them focused on sustainability.by Derrick Teal
The People at Greenbuild
Friday, Nov. 13, 2009 – Greenbuild 2009 has been an overwhelming success, considering the down economy. Phoenix was a hotbed of optimism in green design and construction, with an estimated 28,000 attendees. Although I’m exhausted, I’m sad that Greenbuild is over. I still had so many more people to see!by Michelle Hucal LEED AP
