Beyond Green Buildings; Practical Tools for Sustainable Living


What practical changes can I make to my residential living environment to reflect my commitment to being more sustainable?

To answer this, and other questions about the tools and techniques for living greener, ForeFront Creative Solutions Laboratory is proud to present the inaugural event of our Sustainability and New Technologies Seminar Series.
Practical Tools for Sustainable Living will focus on:
  • Strategies for implementing successful residential additions and remodeling projects that incorporate the latest innovations in green building technology;
  • Cohousing as a means for reducing environmental impact, sharing neighborhood resources and addressing the special needs of seniors.
We will be focusing special attention on practical issues related to real estate value and processes for realizing property owners’ sustainability goals. The seminar will feature presentations by three experts in related fields:
  • Rudolph Widmann, AIA, of Rudolph Widmann Architects; Expert in sustainable residential architecture and a Certified Green Building Professional with an MBA in Sustainable Management from Presidio Graduate School.
