Tri-North Builders Retail Construction Green Symposium
April 29 - May 1, 2008
At Tri-North Builders, we are excited about sharing our experience going green including the LEED® process and what that can bring to our clients to fulfill your goals and objectives of being environmentally conscious, appealing to your customers, and or saving energy and waste, both in construction and operationally, we know you’ll find this day-and-a-half engaging and useful for your entire management team. Going green does not have to add extremely high costs to your construction program and we’ll show you how with specific case studies and the costs associated with green construction. You’ll learn many strategies to accomplish being green or LEED® certified at a reasonable cost. Many projects can be cost neutral, especially when considering utility savings. We look forward to seeing you in Madison!
