2012 Greenbuild Conference & Expo!

Greenbuild is the world's largest conference and expo dedicated to green building.

Thousands of building professionals from all over the world come together at Greenbuild for three days of outstanding educational sessions, renowned speakers, green building tours, special seminars, and networking events.

Launched in 2002, Greenbuild is a great opportunity to build new relationships and connect with colleagues from throughout the industry and around the world.

The U.S. Green Building Council is hosting Greenbuild 2012 in San Francisco from Nov. 14-16. This year will be focused on bringing technology and sustainability together in the global green movement.

U.S. Green Building Council

The U.S. Green Building Council was established in 1993 and has grown to be a diverse group of builders and environmentalists, corporations and nonprofits, teachers and students, lawmakers and citizens. Today there are 77 chapters, 13,000 member organizations and 181,000 LEED professionals strong that share the same vision of a sustainable built environment.

Green building is a win-win, offering both environmental and economic opportunity. Greater building efficiency can meet 85 percent of future demand for energy in the United States and a commitment to green building has the potential to generate 2.5 million jobs.

The USGBC has facilitated the establishment of the most widely recognized and widely used green building program across the globe, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). LEED is certifying 1.6 million square feet of building space each day in more than 130 countries. LEED is a certification program for buildings, homes and communities that guides the design, construction, operations and maintenance. Today, nearly 50,000 projects are currently participating in LEED, comprising more than 8.9 billion square feet of construction space.

NanaWall Systems Integration of Lamboo

Through innovative design and collaboration Lamboo Inc. is working close with our partner companies to bring to the market products that excel in sustainability, quality, and aesthetics.

As a result of these efforts two premium products are available through our partner NanaWall Systems. NanaWall, founded in 1986, delivers wood-framed, opening glass wall systems suitable for many architectural applications. In 1996, Nana Wall Systems entered into partnership with Solarlux of Germany, the world leader in operable glass wall technology. Today, with manufacturer's representatives throughout the continent, Nana Wall Systems is the dominant provider of opening glass walls in North America. The following information is about the two main products NanaWall offers with Lamboo materials.

(NanaWall® WD65 -- Folding or Paired-Panel Wood Framed System)

The WD65 is the folding or paired-panel framed system designed to provide an opening glass wall or storefront for widths up to 43' with 12 panels. With additional paired panels, virtually unlimited widths are possible. It is a top hung system. Special applications include segmented curve units, center pivot options and various inward/outward panel combinations.

(NanaWall® WA67 -- Aluminum Clad Lamboo Framed Folding System)

The WA67 is a Aluminum Clad system that features Lamboo material. These systems have the flexibility in both price and aesthetics to meet project requirements.

Lamboo products embody the essence of green design: the Energy Star-Certified NanaWall folding door system incorporates Lamboo as the most ecologically responsible wood-alternative material on the market today.

“We chose Lamboo because our customers requested more ecologically responsible material to use in LEED® certified projects,” said Ebrahim Nana, president of NanaWall Systems. 

“We already offer FSC wood but Lamboo takes the concept one step further and is recognized as a rapidly renewable resource by the U.S. Green Building Council.” 

Lamboo products meet criteria for 2011 "CALGreen" A4.405.4 (Use of building materials from renewable sources) and contribute to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification under MR Credit 6 - Rapidly renewable materials, IEQ Credit 4.4 - Low-emitting materials; ID Credit 1 - Innovation in Design (Environmentally Preferable Material), and ID Credit 2 - Innovation in Design (Life Cycle Assessment / Environmental Impact).
