The third of Plan It Green’s Green Business Luncheon Series, this session will focus on Green Building Certification and the options and opportunities that exist for your business or home. Learn from local Building experts Winzler & Kelly and Organic House Construction to navigate the variety of Green Building options and compare and contrast how different Certification Programs fit different sorts of construction projects. Discover how Green Building choices can impact your development and the affordable options that can save your business money in operation costs.
Join us this October to gain a better understanding of the Certification Programs available and explore what it really means (and costs) to take the Green Building leap.
