Proposals are now being accepted for educational seminars to be offered at the 13th Annual National Green Building Conference in Salt Lake City from May 1-3, 2011.

The conference is the only national event of its kind targeted to the mainstream residential building industry.

Presenters can expect to talk to builders, remodelers, land developers, engineers, architects, planners, public officials, environmental advocates and product manufacturers.

Proposals are being sought for sessions on a variety of green building topics, ranging from business management and marketing to building science and green technologies. All levels of content are being accepted, with a strong focus on advanced and cutting-edge sessions.

Returning to the 2011 conference will be “Greentensive” sessions that take a more in-depth look at specific topics such as energy efficiency, water efficiency and indoor air quality.

At the 2010 conference in Raleigh, N.C., these sessions drew standing-room-only audiences.

The conference organizers are looking for proposals that target different project types — including single-family and multifamily construction, remodeling and residential development. 

Prospective speakers should describe their proficiency in areas such as energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality, waste management, design and site development. All proposals will be evaluated based on their relevance to green building, the timeliness of the topic, their practical application and speaker qualifications.

To submit a proposal, follow this link to ISES.
