Wynn Encourages Austin Commercial Real Estate to Go Green

Will Wynn is once again stepping up to the "green" plate and asking for the commercial real estate community to work with the Austin Climate Protection Plan in implementing sustainable building strategies. Wynn will speak before a consortium of real estate groups on June 12 as part of a forum presented by The U.S. Green Building Council that will take place from 5pm to 7 pm at the Frank Erwin Center, LoneStar Room. The mayor will be outlining specific goals. According to the Austin Business Journal:

Groups participating in the forum include regional chapters and affiliates from the U.S. Green Building Council, American Institute of Architects, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, the Associated General Contractors of America, Building Owners and Managers of Austin, the Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems, Congress for the New Urbanism and the International Facility Management Association.
