It’s been three months since Sandy hit NYC and the surrounding area, and it’s still very much a topic of conversation. Relief efforts continue and many are examining how we can improve our ability to withstand another similar weather event. In our February forum we’ll take a look at this issue by examining what work is being done now, what could be done in the future, and learning about a flood insurance report prepared for the Mayor’s Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability that has much to teach about NYC flood zones. It’s sure to be an interesting forum and we hope you’ll join us for it!
This forum is free and open to the public!
Date: Wednesday, February 20, 2013
Time: 6:30pm – 8:00pm
Place: Trespa Design Center, 62 Greene St., Manhattan, NY 10012

Join us for our first forum of 2013! As is traditional for January, we’ll be having a Green Catwalk Forum. These forums focus on the new or little-known aspects of Green Building and we try to book as many speakers as we can to get a broad spectrum of ideas. This year is no exceptions, we’ll talk about materials, new technologies, a new study on energy use in multi-family homes, and much more! It’s always a great way to familiarize yourself with what’s up and coming! We hope to see you there!
