ESWP President's Reception - January 15, 2010
Friday November 6, 2009
The ESWP Program Committee assembled a distinguished panel of experts to discuss the latest initiatives on sustainable design. Sustainability is a concept that safeguards our natural environment, conserves our resources, reduces intrusion on wildlife and avoids a negative impact on the ecosystem. These efforts are now being applied to design construction, operations and maintenance. 5 panelists and an expert moderator explored the various levels of local, state and federal programs that consider sustainable design. More than 90 ESWP members were in attendance to learn from these experts.
