"Green Technology That Works
"Green" without intelligence is not very smart. This seminar brings together industry experts to discuss the latest technologies for reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions in buildings.

Speakers will present new, innovative solutions and case studies for "green" sustainable buildings as well as methods for establishing ROI Ion these new solutions. This seminar is a "must-attend" for owners, developers, property managers, architects, facility managers, engineers, system integrators and consultants.
This new "Green" course was specially-taylored for building owners and managers by Realcomm and is being hosted by IREM SF and CCIM. Discounted price for members: $95.
Time: 8:00-12:30 201 California Street Ste 100, SF
