West Coast Green Brings Green Building Leaders to PCBC

San Francisco, CA – West Coast Green, the world’s leading interactive conference on green innovation, has partnered with Pacific Coast Building Conference (PCBC), the region’s largest building conference. The two will converge this week, June 22nd-24th, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. With the collaboration of PCBC, a fellow leader in the conference industry, this joint event represents the largest annual conference of West Coast builders and developers.

“This partnership was created to bridge the divide between green building and conventional building professionals, integrating collective knowledge to optimize how we build smart and sustainable communities of the future,” said Christi Graham, founder of West Coast Green. “Green building is the most effective way to create jobs, spur investments, and drive sustainable economic growth that promotes clean energy and healthy communities.”

There will be a series of events at the conference this week, including:

• The West Coast Green Salon Series: An interactive hub where some of the world’s leading experts on green building and sustainability will share best practices, case studies and market strategies for shifting the way we build. This is a rare opportunity to engage one-on-one with some of the top thought leaders such as Hunter Lovins of Natural Capital Solutions, Dan Geiger of US Green Building Council NCC,  Kevin Surace of Serious Materials, and many others who lead the way in building smart communities of the future.
• The West Coast Green Renewable Energy Pavilion: A timely look at alternative ways to produce, store, monitor and use non-traditional energy sources. The PCBC audience will have access to the Renewable Energy Pavilion seminars ranging from the policy and financial aspects of renewable energy including Federal Tax credits and incentives, and California’s zero-net energy homes goal; to the technical considerations, including building codes and HOA responses to solar photovoltaic, solar water and space heating, wind energy and fuel cell applications in single and multifamily housing.
