According to the U.S. Green Building Council, the products and services market for green building is expected to exceed $12 billion in 2007. Virtually every new construction and retrofit project undertaken today includes some element of green design.

For designers and specifiers of mechanical systems, this explosive green building market means huge potential for growth. EGB 2007, the only green-design event dedicated to mechanical systems in non-residential buildings, presents an opportunity for contractors and engineers to learn how to be “greener” and provides the knowledge and skills you need to “go for the green” in the profitable green-design arena.

GROW GREENER AT EGB 2007

EGB 2007 offers technical and professional knowledge that will help attendees succeed and make their companies more profitable in the buildings design and construction industry. The educational sessions contractors and engineers will:

* Learn how green building requirements apply to mechanical systems.

* Find out how mechanical systems can be designed to help a building project achieve LEED certification.

* Attend sessions on energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor environmental quality and sustainability.

* Hear first-hand about green applications in current Las Vegas projects such as the $7 billion MGM CityCenter.

* Discover how Clark County is using green building applications and solutions to reduce operating costs and improve indoor air quality for schools and government facilities.

* Meet vendors demonstrating the green characteristics and applications of their mechanical systems, components, equipment, software, technology and services.
