Learn about innovative green building value engineering and follow-up with a fun evening enjoying the amenities of Belgravia's 565 Quincy "Q" Room which includes billiards\, bowling\, indoor putting green\, and more. Food and drink included. This unique home builder educational program will focus on how to use value engineering to cut costs and increase profits on new residential construction under both the Energy Star program and National Green Building Standard (NGBS) label. The 2006 IECC (International Energy Conservation Code) can make "going green" a possible profit center for the builder and/or developer if you know how to take advantage of new technology and building techniques. Optimum Value Engineering (OVE) offers an untapped resource for reducing builders ' hard costs while increasing material efficiency\, possibly making ENERGY STAR & NGBS labeling a profitable opportunity\, instead of a costly mandate.
