BASE PRESENTS: Green Buildings: Achieving Success Through Financing, Entrepreneurship, and Community Engagement.
Friday, Dec 12, 5:30pm
Bainbridge Public Library – 1270 Madison Ave N Bainbridge Island, WA 98110

“The buildings in which we live, work and play protect us from nature’s extremes, yet they also affect our health and environment in countless ways. Patterns of development, transportation infrastructure, building location and design have direct and indirect influences on human health, solid waste, water and air quality.

As an alternative, green buildings are gaining momentum as environmentally responsible and resource efficient structures, finding the balance between homebuilding and the sustainable environment. However, successful green building implementation and management depends on the cooperation of engineers, architects, designers, contractors, entrepreneurs, clients, community, and financing agents.

Join us for a conversation with three leading experts in the sector and learn about local and national initiatives, technologies, and market trends.”

Featuring:

• Molly McCabe, President at HaydenTanner
• Kimberly Lewis, Senior Vice President, Community Advancement, Conferences & Events at U.S. Green Building Council
• Tadashi Shiga, Owner at Evergreen Certified

Ten projects. Ten slides. Ten minutes.

And one goal: to honor the very best in sustainable construction — like Grow Community.

We’re pleased to say that Grow is one of 10 projects asked to present at this year’s prestigious “Green Building Slam” at the University of Washington. Sponsored by the Northwest EcoBuilding Guild, the rapid-fire event showcases unique projects and new approaches to environmentally conscious construction.

Featured speaker will be Kathleen O’Brien, a nationally recognized leader in the field of sustainability as a writer, educator, strategic planner and project consultant for nearly 30 years.

The Green Building Slam event will be held from 5-10 p.m. Nov. 15 at UW’s Kane Hall, with presentations beginning at 6:30. Networking and goodies throughout.

We’re honored to be part this great event. We’ll gladly take the Slam!

The Impact Hub in Pioneer Square, Seattle

Hi Friends/Colleagues,

Some of you know about my volunteer involvement with the NW EcoBuilding Guild. I would like to share my excitement about this year’s upcoming main Regional event – a one-day conference at the Impact Hub in Pioneer Square. Some of you may have attended the “Retreat” in past years, and EcoBuilding 2014 is the result of a transformation of that long cherished event.

Please see the line-up of speakers here http://www.ecobuilding.org/retreat/speakers, REGISTER here http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/779337, and share the excitement with your networks. There is definitely a variety of topics for many audiences – single family, multifamily, case studies, tech talks, policy talks, etc..

Our planning committee has set the awesome goal of selling out for this event in order to:

a) educate and connect more people in the industry;

b) increase awareness of the Guild’s mission and programs; and

c) raise some needed funds for the excellent programming we provide to the green building community.

We are a volunteer run organization that is playing a huge role in the advancement of green building practices in our region. Please join us for this exciting time event.

Hope to see you there.
Greg Lotakis, Grow Community Project Manager

Grow Community’s first neighborhood, the Village, set a new standard for comfortable, sustainable urban living with its cluster of beautifully designed, energy-efficient single-family homes. Now come the Grove and the Park, two new neighborhoods of high-quality, sustainable homes surrounding lush public greens and a shared community center. The garden spaces, healthy transportation options and low-carbon designs of the Village are here too — along with those solar-ready roofs — this time in a new mix of designs including townhomes and single-level homes.

Very soon we will begin pre-selling homes in the Grove and are opening a sales office at 180 Olympic Drive SE on Bainbridge Island – just a 2 minute walk from the ferry terminal. We invite you to come and learn about this beautiful new phase of Grow Community.

We hope you’ll join us for our Grand Opening weekend – July 12 & 13th, 12-5pm.
