Why You Should Attend
Green is becoming the affordable mainstream across the
country. Developers are pushing the envelop on energy
efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality, and smart sites - and
generating significant financial, health, and environmental benefits for their
projects and tenants. Public policy makers are developing new resources and
imposing new requirements that raise the bar on performance - and corresponding
reductions in operating costs. New players - energy services companies,
renewable energy providers, and environmental infrastructures experts - are
responding to emerging opportunities as affordable housing and community
development becomes a leading edge industry in the transformation from a carbon
economy to a green economy.
No other industry event brings together the leaders who are
making green and affordable one and the same. No other
industry event offers opportunities to learn from the best about what's working
today - and what's next. No other industry event convenes the growing community
of developers, financiers, technical experts, and advocates who are redefining
affordable housing and community development in this country. This conference
will allow you to remain at the forefront of industry innovation, get the
latest research on costs and benefits, and understand emerging opportunities
for research.
Did You Know?
-
Green affordable projects generate tangible, measurable energy and water
savings and carbon emission reductions, resulting in lower operating costs and
hedges against spikes in energy costs.
-
New ways of financing energy efficiency rehab, renewable energy, and green
infrastructure are emerging.
-
Public policies at all levels of government - from housing to energy to
transportation to climate change - are creating new opportunities and
requirements.
-
Renewable energy tax credits are not the only green tax credits. Projects
funded by the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, the Historic Preservation Tax
Credit, and the New Markets Tax Credit can be sustainably developed to leverage
the other credits.
-
Green affordable means more than bricks and sticks and the surrounding site.
It's about better lives and opportunities for lowincome people.
