Sponsored by the Center for Economic and Environmental Partnership and the CUNY Graduate Center, the conference will be an overview of High Performance Building and its increasing influence in the local and global real estate marketplace.
Garrison will be opening speaker during the Orientation to HPB Opportunities, discussing concept initiation and will also lead a breakout session on upgrading existing building and conversions.

The Academy curricula are practical and case-based, taught by leaders in the industry and designed to enable attendees to go out and do "high performance" work. One of the Academy's highlights includes an innovative Mock Review of a High Performance RFP, walking participants through the decision-making process regarding how to respond to an RFP including HP criteria.
