Greg Crawford Named Chairman of SBIC
The Sustainable Buildings Industry Council (SBIC) has elected Gregory L. Crawford to chair its 2006-2007 Executive Committee. The SBIC is a construction industry leader in advancing the design, affordability, energy performance and environmental soundness of America's buildings. Greg is vice president of operations for the Steel Recycling Institute and executive director of the Cool Metal Roofing Coalition. His first order of business was to lead a strategic planning session that provided a new trajectory for the Council, resulting in a charge to move Beyond Green™ in the Executive Committee's efforts to shape the future purpose of the organization. "Greg's selection as chairman of the SBIC demonstrates the confidence that the sustainable buildings community has in the steel industry's commitment to actively support environmental solutions for building construction," said Del Boring, AISI's vice president of construction market. "With increased emphasis on the importance of 'green building' in recent years, design professionals and contractors are increasingly recognizing the environmental benefits of steel products, which have enviable recycled content and are 100 percent recyclable at end of life, thus amortizing their embodied energy over future generations of new steel while also reducing construction waste to conserve landfill space." The SBIC was
recently named Green Advocate of the Year in the Group category
at the 2006 National Green Building Awards Gala. The awards were
presented during the National Association of Home Builders' (NAHB)
Annual National Green Building Conference in Albuquerque, N.M. The
SBIC was recognized for driving significant changes in energy- and
resource-efficient new home construction through its outreach, advocacy,
and educational initiatives. |
