The Green Edge & Energy Star Homes: 3-5 pm, networking reception to follow
In "The Green Edge & Energy Star Homes" presentation Suzanne Shelton, CEO of The Shelton Group, and Larry Levine, a senior attorney in Natural Resources Defense Council’s Water Program, will discuss their work on marketing – and the market advantages – of green building.
As the nation’s leading marketing communications firm entirely focused in the energy and environment sectors, the Knoxville, Tennessee based Shelton Group polls Americans on an ongoing basis to understand their drivers and obstacles to adopting more sustainable or energy efficient products and behaviors. Shelton then uses those insights to help some of the nation’s leading brands define and leverage their sustainability and energy efficiency stories to gain a market advantage.
Larry Levine focuses on water quality issues, especially promoting the use of “green infrastructure” on private property as a way to add value for commercial property owners and their tenants. He is the author of the NRDC’s 2013 publication, The Green Edge: How Commercial Property Investment in Green Infrastructure Creates Value.
