NAIOP Webinar on Going Green Going Green: Tips, Tools and Examples from the Field Thursday, August 13, 2009 1 p.m. (EST); noon (CST); 10 a.m. (PST) Presented by: Abigail Johnson, principal, Abacus Property Solutions In contrast to large corporate end-users, publicly held companies and government agencies, the private investor has been reticent to buy or build green buildings, in part due to the incongruence of financial and LEED criteria. How can this important investor group find a place in the rapidly expanding green building movement? One solution is to adopt financially feasible green building practices which produce a more sustainable building while meeting yield and cash flow requirements of the private sector. Abby Johnson will discuss this approach, its opportunities and drawbacks, as well as the financial impact of implementing specific green practices in a hypothetical building based on her research funded by NAIOP's Research Foundation. Register for this resourceful Webinar! Cost per site: $125 members and $189 non-members. Online registration will close August 13, at 11 a.m. (ET).
