From Architect
Plus, the cost of solar panels could continue to lessen, Sefaira adds a new functionality to its program, and more from this week’s design-tech news from around the internet.
Today marks the final day of the 2016 Greenbuild International Conference and Expo, held this year in the Los Angeles Conven
tion Center. Thousands of eco-conscious architects, engineers, builders, and manufacturers descended upon the city for educational seminars, networking, product research, and the reaffirmation that the AEC industry has a critical role in achieving a sustainable future. This also marks the last conference during which U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC’s) founding chair Rick Fedrizzi reigns as CEO; in his Greenbuild journal, he writes that he is most proud that “this organization I helped create has come to be as diverse, all-welcoming and all-encompassing as any organization on the face of this planet.” Other moments from Greenbuild: the celebration of USGBC’s Leadership Awards, and the launch of“arc,” a new technology organization to help buildings measure performance, which will be headed by outgoing chief product officer Scot Horst. Also Aloe Blacc headlined the Greenbuild Celebration. [USGBC Press]
