Green Building Exchange

Green Building the way it should be

About Me

In early 2007 Green Building Exchange will open a 55,000 foot facility in Redwood City, California. This site will be the first-ever building exchange dedicated to sustainable "green" building. The public will be able to review products and services from hundreds of green building professionals, attend class and hold private meetings with builders.This new site will become the central location for green building information and communication in Northern California. The public will be invited to browse the vendor exhibitions, attend workshops and classes, and bring green building projects for review by the on-site professionals.Green building vendors will be able to showcase their products and services in exhibition booths located throughout the facility. Building professionals such as architects, landscapers, and builders can lease office space and use the many available meeting and conference spaces for private meetings. The site will include several classrooms with capacities of up to 100 attendees per class, allowing training and educational institutions to use the facilities.Green building vendors, professionals and educational organizations are encouraged to contact Green Building Exchange for more information on how to participate in this ground-breaking program. Call Green Building Exchange at 650-369-4900.
