Albuquerque, N.M., to Host NAHB’s 2006 Green Building Conference

The National Association of Home Builders  (NAHB) has announced that its 2006 National Green Building Conference will be held in Albuquerque, N.M.

“Builders in Albuquerque have already made significant progress in developing an impressive number of green built homes,” says Ray Tonjes, chairman of the NAHB’s Green Building Subcommittee and a home builder from Austin, Texas. “We are thrilled to highlight the work of local green builders, as well as homes built in accordance with NAHB’s voluntary Model Green Home Building Guidelines, as more and more of our members start to build green.”

The conference, with a theme of “Greening the American Dream,” will provide a forum for attendees to network with like-minded colleagues and attend educational sessions on green building topics.

Sessions will address building science, design, marketing and other subjects for both green building specialists and mainstream home builders, many of whom are already incorporating green building methods and materials into their construction practices.
