6th Alternative Building Materials and Design Expo 09!This is a featured page

The 6th annual Alternative Building Materials & Design Expo (AltBuild Expo) is Southern California’s most substantive and extensive showcase of green and sustainable building materials. It is the only regional event of its kind that allows the eco-minded professionals and public to meet and discuss green opportunities with serious green conscious figures in the design and construction communities.

Presented by the City of Santa Monica, this event features over 150 exhibitors displaying the latest in green building technologies and practices, landscape and water conservation products and interior design products and furnishings. Exhibitors include Acme Environmental, C & K Landscape, Western Roofing, EnviroPlumbing, Sustainable Solutions, Rinnai, BMD, IES, Weston Solutions, Discover Green, MWD, Honeywell, Kingspan Insulated Panels.

The AltBuild Expo hosts an impressive array of educational lectures and demonstrations. Friday’s speaker series will focus on topics geared towards trade professionals (builders, architects, landscape architects and municipalities), and Saturday’s series will focus on both trade professionals and topics of interest to the general public. The program will include panel discussions, seminars, and hands-on workshops led by top environmental and urban development experts. One such expert, Russell Ackerman, will speak on Friday, May 8th, addressing the principles of sustainable landscaping in urban environments, and the Sustainable Industries Journal will be presenting a panel on Saturday, May 9th, addressing Green Building Trends.

There will also be a self-guided Green Homes Tour on Sunday, May 10th, sponsored by the City of Santa Monica.
