ATLANTA (September 21, 2006) –Make plans now to attend Greenprints: Sustainable Communities by Design. The 2007 conference will be held March 22 and 23 at the Westin Peachtree Plaza in downtown Atlanta.

Greenprints remains the Southeast region's most thought-provoking forum on sustainability. Our community of practitioners, policy makers, building owners and concerned citizens use this conference to explore better ways to link planning, architecture, construction and the use of natural resources.

Greenprints fosters the Southface mission to promote sustainable homes, workplaces and communities. The conference presents quality learning opportunities for those 'new' to being green and advanced practitioners of green building. Greenprints provides a dynamic forum for design and construction professionals to interact with experts, discover alternatives and implement solutions that will guarantee an ecologically sustainable future.

“This year we are working hard to exceed our past success during Greenprints 2007 using the wonderful feedback we’ve received as our guide. We’ve extended the green tradeshow to a full two days. Educational sessions will cover challenges with implementation of green building and lessons learned in the field, specifics on methods and new technologies, marketing sustainable building and much more,” said Kelly Hendry, Greenprints Project Manger. “We are excited to be bringing more interactive sessions covering everything from the technical details of building science to the issues that go beyond building.”
