NC Project Green - Green Building Webinar Series |
1. 2010 Green Building Webinar Series Registration
In the U.S. buildings account for 40 percent of energy consumption, 39 percent of CO2 emissions, 13 percent of water consumption, and 15 percent of the Gross Domestic Product annually, according to the U.S. Green Building Council. With an ever-increasing awareness of sustainability, the passing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Federal Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants program, as well as the requirements of S.L. 2007-546 (http://www.ncleg.net/Sessions/2007/Bills/Senate/PDF/S668v6.pdf) to reduce energy and water consumption in new and existing government buildings, now is a time for action!
