On both days informative and exciting videos will be shown parallel to the working group sessions (9 a.m.- 7 p.m.), which will deal with various aspects and approaches of "green buildings." These videos range from the introduction of environmentally responsible design concepts, to the economic and environmental benefits of specific technologies, case studies, "how-to" videos, and talks by distinguished speakers, such as William McDonough (William McDonough + Partners, Charlottesville, VA), and David Orr (Oberlin College, Environmental Studies Program, Oberlin, OH).
