NESEA Member Ian Finlayson, Deputy Director of the Energy Efficiency Division at MassDOER, will be curating three of the 50+ conference sessions at this year's BuildingEnergy Boston, March 7–9.

"There are other (larger) building design conferences, but none that bring together all that is at the cutting edge of sustainable building the way that BuildingEnergy Boston does. This conference is about being part of a community of leaders. It seems to consistently attract leading builders, designers, and developers of sustainable construction and is a safe space to share and learn what didn’t work as expected as well as to see the successful projects."

Ian's sessions are an example of the type of content that will be featured at this year's conference. View the full list of sessions here.
