This year, President Bill Clinton will give the keynote address at the 2017 Greenbuild International Conference and Expo at 6 p.m. on Nov. 9 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. PAYETTE Director of Building Science Andrea Love who is also Board Chair of the U.S. Green Building Council’s Massachusetts Chapter spoke with ENR Magazine about this exciting announcement.
The 42nd President of the United States is also the namesake for the U.S. Green Building Council’s Project Haiti, a LEED-registered orphanage and children’s facility being constructed in Port-au-Prince. The William Jefferson Clinton Children’s Center is targeting LEED Platinum and is expected to be completed next month. The USGBC is overseeing the design, construction and financing for Haiti’s first LEED-certified children’s center.
