New Morning Windows will host an Education Conference for Sustainable
Building Practices on December 5th. The event will be held at their Lakeville,
Minnesota offices. The conference will feature experts on green building,
design, and responsible materials.
“With the growing interest in green building, we thought it would
be important to offer education about green practices and help introduce
Minnesota's newest certification program for builders and architects,”
says Alexis Bloomstrand, owner of New Morning Windows.
The Minnesota GreenStar program is a green building standard and certification
program for new homes and remodeling projects.
“Minnesota GreenStar program has been designed with Minnesota in
mind providing flexible strategies to help any residential project become
green,” says Mike Williams, Executive Director of Minnesota GreenStar,
and speaker at the Education Conference.
The target audience for the event is primarily builders and contractors.
Architects and others with interests
in green building are also welcome. The conference will include presentations
that address passive solar design, geothermal systems, proper window installation,
and reducing water usage through green design.
“Green building starts with good design and good planning, and it
helps to understand your options before you get started,” says Alison
Lindburg, Program Director with Dovetail Partners, and conference speaker.
Specific sessions at the conference will quality for Continuing Education
Learning Credits. More information is available by contacting New Morning
