Free and open to the public and partnering with US Green Building Council
Over the years the GBRC has held education seminars and has participated in some presentations at other locations in Houston. And as of 2020, we have held webinars online as a result of Covid-19. Many of the sessions were recorded, and are available to watch from our archives. And the archives all have the visual presentations available for viewing. Our largest attendance was our Earth Day presentation in 2015 regarding Tiny Houses with 250 in the audience.
Houston Incentives for Green Development
In this seminar, Laura and Michael will talk about the green development report, and explain the opportunities for involvement in developing rules, tax abatements, award and recognition programs, and permitting expediting.
GREEN BY DESIGN: PETER PFEIFFER, FAIA
"By taking a “street-wise” common-sense approach to high performance design strategies and comparing them to the expensive and maintenance intensive "green gizmos" approach being promoted by most, Architect Peter Pfeiffer will present to and help the participant critically determine what works - what is effective and long lasting - and what may simply be 'hype' of the latest 'fad' product or method."
This is a webinar on Startmeeting.com, with 1 CEU available.
Green Building and Virus Protection (Online)
Living in a paradigm shift, are we? Clearly, we all know to wash our hands, and we are seeing a number of plex and glass screens at customer service areas. What do green buildings need to minimize transfer of diseases? Can these germs travel in the HVAC systems?
Earth Day and Recycling (ONLINE THIS TIME)
The 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, and we are talking about recycling? Surely we are in dire need of more significant change than just recycling on this planet. Correct. And we are not going to dwell on dire change or saving the world today.
