GREEN BUILDERS CONVENE With sustainable design commanding an ever-greater presence in mainstream architecture, timing could not have been better for the inaugural Green Building International Conference and Expo of the U.S. Green Building Council. Held in Austin, Texas in November, 2002, the conference brought together over 2,000 architects, builders, scientists, ecologists, and other sustainability-minded professionals. Featuring approximately 100 different seminars over three days, the conference delivered expertise and experience from a wide variety of persons and places.
