Join us for a BuildingEnergy Local event at the historic Quincy Chamber of Commerce hosted by NESEA member David Kelman a Realtor with Keller Willams Realty. The event is designed for real estate professionals in the Boston area who have an active interest in learning more about sustainable and high performance building science, and how this growing field might affect their practice.
Attendees will learn about our upcoming BuildingEnergy conference (March 3-5 at the Seaport in Boston) and get a "taste of BuildingEnergy" with brief presentations from four conference presenters including Craig Foley, a real estate agent with Re/Max in Somerville; Brian Butler, the president of Boston Green Build; Colleen Chapin, Preservation Manager of Historic New England; and Julie Klump, Vice President for Design and Technical Services at Preservation on Affordable Housing. Following these presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of these four presenters and two other additional experts, Dan Teague, Business Development Manager at WegoWise and David Kelman, Realtor with Keller Williams Realty and our host for the evening. Questions that might be asked include "How will solar panels affect the resale value of a home?" and "Are highly efficient homes too tight? What can be done to ventilate them?" and "How can energy efficiency projects be financed?" Finally, attendees will meet other real estate agents with similar interests and build their network.
Cost: Thanks to the generous support of our hosting member, David Kelman, this event is free, although pre-registration is required.
