Boston To Track Green Building Progress

BOSTON-A community angling to be on the edge of the green building revolution will host a special forum tomorrow, May 16, assessing the movement’s progress. Moderated by Real Estate Media’s national online editor John Salustri, the mid-day event at the Back Bay Sheraton will cap off the RealShare Boston conference.

Real Estate Media organizes this conference series and publishes GlobeSt.com, Real Estate Forum as well as a number of other industry specific publications.

Attendees will hear from Bergmeyer Associates’ VP and architect Michael Davis, who is credentialed for the LEED standard established by the US Green Building Council as well as Cresa Partners’ SVP Greg O’Brien, who will represent the user side of environmentally friendly properties, a perspective gleaned from his firm’s focus on tenant services, while City of Boston environmental chief James Hunt will offer the municipal outlook. As head of Boston’s Environmental & Energy Services program, Hunt is Mayor Thomas Menino‘s point person on a sweeping initiative to ensure future construction adheres to green building best practices as set by USGBC.
