Omigod, didn't realize there were so many options - for both the fixtures and the controls! green trail cell phone tours of green buildings free workshops and expert help!! how to support LEED accreditation in my office in cost effective way - how to better use the utility programs having someone who can answer questions about almost anything!!! The help desk is greatz. Doctor programs! I have experience, but not confident about everything, this helps me close the gap. I thought I knew green products, but there are a lot more here than I was aware of. im bringing my students here (MBA, CRE) now I know how to approach my landlord and what to say learn: now I know I can integrate green strategies NO MATTER what my budget is. I thought it was only if I had a lot more money to spend. I left knowing specific things I could do. act: going to convince my clients to build green. Those that don't agree, I'll do it anyway. im going home and educating my neighbors/community I will do a blog entry on some of these materials for the company where I work didn't realize that the FF&E stuff is so imprtant, computers, etc/ Tambient system is really cool now I know how to help my GCs do better now I know I need to block out more time.
