USGBC 2010 Federal Summit

May 18 & 19, 2010 Ronald Reagan Building & International Trade Center 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC Leadership in Sustainability from Coast to Coast Join the U.S. Green Building Council, government officials, industry leaders and experts from the non-profit community in a two-day exchange of ideas in the nation’s capital to explore the role of the federal government in advancing green building across the nation. In 2010 we continue the conversation started at previous Federal Summits about the opportunities that green building represents for the government sector. Whether it is good, green, American jobs that save energy, water and taxpayer money or energy efficiency retrofits that cut carbon emissions, together we can change the way we construct and operate our built environment. Example program topics include:

• Retrofits of existing buildings
• Implementation of current executive orders and legislation
• Leadership and success stories in green building
• Federal programs and resources
• State and local programs
• Multiple buildings and campus greening
• Sustainable communities
• Climate change

The event is open to all government agencies, non-government organizations and private firms that work with government agencies. Federal Green Building Leadership Award The 2010 Federal Summit will again feature USGBC’s Federal Green Building Leadership Award program. For nearly a decade, the federal government has pioneered the use of LEED and innovative green building initiatives to lead by example in advancing the sustainability of the built environment. The Federal Green Building Leadership Award program honors this crucial work by recognizing individuals within the federal government who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in and commitment to green building. The call for nominations will open March 1 and close April 16. U.S. Green Building Council
