busting the Myth that Green Costs More & Con-tinuous Commissioning 10aM | rOOM 117/118Buildings are one of the largest consumers of resources and energy in this country, and according to the AIA (American Institute of Architects) are responsible for almost half of all carbon emissions in the United States. Since Americans spend nearly 90 percent of their lives indoors, buildings are clearly important to our way of life. The most common misconception about green building is that these approaches cost more to implement than traditional strategies and techniques of design and construction. This session offers an overview of Continuous Commissioning®, a patented and licensed on-going process developed by Texas A&M University to resolve operating problems, improve comfort and optimize energy use that requires no capital investment. Typical savings are 20% to 40% and paybacks are usually less than 3 years. Attend this session and learn how you can save money and optimize building efficiencies.

healthy buildings, healthy people – Followed by GreenGuArd environmental institute tOur.130pM | rOOM 115

Achieving good indoor air quality is no simple task and must be managed from the planning stages, through construction and beyond. Schools, healthcare facilities, hotels and hospitals all benefit from a healthier balance of indoor and outdoor air. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is determined by an array of processes, products, and natural occurrences in buildings. Indoor air quality can support healthy, happy, comfortable people who can live, work and play better in indoor spaces. While this is a worthy objective in and of itself, it also results in sizable bottom line benefits to all players involved: building owners, facility managers, design and construction professionals and insurance companies, just to name a few. Learn how you can save money in your building with improved IAQ.

• What are the advantages to measuring and offsetting your businesses emis-sions? How can being Carbon Neutral draw more clients?

• Can the cost of being “Green” become covered by your customers?

• How can we turn emissions into an asset not a liability?

these are just a few of the questions to be answered at the GreenBusiness Works eXpO Green hall MeetinG.
