It takes a community to Keep Portland Green!
While another SBW has officially come and gone, the impact of the two-week event will ripple through the Portland design and construction industry for months to come. This year’s event can be characterized as innovating in a challenging time. The loss of building first person relationships through ‘in-person’ events was replaced with the ability to […]

Sustainable Building Week 2020 – A Virtual Experience!
2020 was supposed to be the year that finally fulfilled our Jetson’s dreams of getting the (electric) jet pack, and even if we didn’t get the flying car, we’d settle for a self-driving (electric) car. Instead, we get our toilet paper and disinfectant sent to our doorstep with no contact delivery – but hey! We […]

Why I joined SBW & what I hope to see this year
I have long been inspired by our local influencers in high performance building and Portland’s efforts in moving the needle on all things Green.

As builders, […]
