Earn AIA Credit! Steve Glenn presents webinar at GreenExpo365.com
Thursday, August 12th, 2010

GreenExpo

“High Design; Low Impact. Building the LivingHomes.”

The developer of the nation’s first LEED Platinum home, and with over nine LivingHomes in production that are designed to achieve LEED Platinum certification, Steve Glenn is one of the more experienced builders of environmentally conscious homes in the United States.  While LivingHomes uses the LEED program for external review and validation, the company has established its own Z6 sustainable building goals, which serve as development objectives for each LivingHome, insuring that they have as close as possible to zero negative impact on health and environment.  The Z6 goals for each LivingHome are Zero Water, Zero Energy, Zero Waste, Zero Emissions, Zero Carbon and Zero Ignorance.

Steve will share his experiences working with leading architects, including Ray Kappe, FAIA, one of the most celebrated modern architects in the US, and KieranTimberlake, the AIA 2008 Firm of the Year, to create LivingHomes.  He will discuss the specific elements that go into a LivingHome to achieve the Z6 goals and the process of building a LivingHome – from its factory construction to on-site installation in mere hours.

Earn one (1) hour AIA credit.
