April Green Building Conference Set for Nashville

Washington, DC, March 20 -- The green share of new single-family residential construction has grown dramatically--increasing from 2 percent in 2005 to 17 percent in 2011, according to McGraw-Hill Construction.

Builders and remodelers looking to expand their knowledge of building green, and find out where the market is going, can attend the 2012 National Green Building Conference and Expo in Nashville April 29-May 1.

"More and more homes are becoming green and energy-efficient, whether by consumer demand or code requirement," said Eric Borsting, chairman of the National Green Building Conference and Expo.

"This is the way the industry is moving, and this conference is the best place for any building professional to get ahead of the game and learn about best green practices and techniques. With its unmatched networking opportunities, education courses, impressive tour of homes and exhibit hall, this event is not one to be missed."
