Editor's Notes
- Thank host, guest speakers, etc This is workshop #x of the HPBP This is a general overview of high performance building concepts, the geo hpb program, and high performance funding options. Additional general workshops will be held across the state. More specific technical workshops will be created and offered in addition to the general core knowledge and informational workshops such as this. Workshop is meant to be interactive. We know there are many people in Colorado who have already made great achievements in high performance building. We're here to share those successes, learn from the lessons learned and challenges within the room, and share our presentation. What you get out of it is what you put in. So, ask questions, interrupt, share your stories, etc.
- Why are we presenting about Colorado in a New York Conference called Urban Green? Colorado is emblematic of rugged beauty, and as you can see from our state flora and fauna we pride ourselves on thriving in extreme environments. We’re also a testing ground for new ideas, and the extreme environments we live in have forced us to some up with innovative solutions.
