A new, and somewhat controversial rating system, a keynote address by the former First Lady and Secretary of State, and a sense business is once again growing helped energize the approximately 28,000 people who came out to the City of Brotherly Love for the annual Greenbuild.
This was the first year Greenbuild was run under the ownership of Hanley Wood, which also owns Surfaces, but the show’s founding organization, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) was still at the center of attention, especially with the launch of LEED v4, the newest version of the organization’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design green building rating system.
