On Saturday November 7, the Warminster Township Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) will host a free seminar on green building presented by the Delaware Valley Green Building Council. This educational event is intended for regional EAC’s, elected officials and political leaders, municipal code and zoning officials, planning organizations, related NGO’s, other officials, contractors and the press. This event will be held at the Warminster Township Administration Building, 401 Gibson Ave., from 10 AM to 3 PM. Lunch will be provided to all registrants.

The event will answer the question, “What is a Green Building?”. Although a lot of people have heard about “green building”, few have a clear understanding about what it is, what it can do, what it costs, and why it’s become the most important movement in the building industry in modern times. This event is tailored for municipal officials that are charged with administer building codes that are often at odds with the needs of the community, financial responsibility, and the environment.

Attendees will learn about fundamentals of green design; how to identify green-washing, how to lower municipal and personal utility bills, be more comfortable and productive in a healthier workplace or home, and other benefits of green design.

The program, Green Homes 101, was created by members of the DVGBC’s Residential Circle. Those who want to understand the fundamentals of sustainable design are invited to join us for this basic, non-technical seminar in high performance design, materials, and systems. The event is cosponsored by the DVGBC and The Bucks County Sustainable Building Alliance.
