Taking our lead from the awesome explosion of nature in the springtime, Green Builder Media is buzzing with activity.

Esteemed green builder CR Herro and I teamed up this week to present a webinar on Millennial Essentials, exploring the growing demand for net-zero, electric, healthy, resilient, connected, and sustainably designed homes.  Whether you’re a building professional or homeowner, check out the webinar recording for hot-off-the-press trends, data, and insights about how this influential audience is transforming the housing market.

Green Builder Media also recently hosted our sixth annual Sustainability Symposium 2022: Roadmap to Decarbonization, during which leading sustainability experts outlined how we can create a net-zero carbon economy with climate solutions that are market available and cost-effective. Check out the playlist of the Sustainability Symposium sessions on our YouTube channel for pioneering information about regeneration, circularity, ESG, and decarbonization solutions for the built environment.
