Environmental Center Offers Funding "Green Building" Workshop

The Environmental Technology Center at Sonoma State University is hosting a "Funding Green Buildings: Sources and Strategies" workshop on Tuesday, Jan. 22, from noon to 5 p.m. at the center.

The workshop provides a 10-step "roadmap" for optimizing green building related financing, capital campaigns and grant writing strategies. The presenter, Jan McAdams, uses case histories to describe creative approaches to the financing and fundraising process.

In addition to "funding readiness strategies" McAdams will explain the "Energywise 100: The 100 Major Public and Private Sources for Grants and Donations for Sustainable & PV Commercial Design Applications."

The workshop registration fee of $245 per person (a $195/person early bird registration fee is available until Jan. 15, 2002) includes a copy of the 150-page course manual, "The Energywi$e Construction Funding Directory for Green Buildings - 2002 Edition."

This annotated directory of public and private resources for sustainable commercial green design and building-integrated PV is considered the most comprehensive resource available on the subject.
