Jerry Speaks!

New ZONE Seminar Rolls Out

Jerry’s latest seminar is the Zero-Net Energy (ZONE) Building Design Seminar which is specifically oriented toward architects, engineers, builders and developers. This workshop’s premiere presentation was a half-day session in Phoenix on August 26th, with almost two dozen participants.

Other recent talks have included a national webinar on water conservation for the National Association of Plumbing, Heating and Cooling Contractors; a talk on water conservation at the University of Arizona; and a talk in San Diego for the American Society of Plumbing Engineers.

We’re busy lining up 2012 webinars and talks, including the USGBC chapter in Las Vegas, the Construction Specifications Institute western region conference in Tucson, GreenExpo365.com, and an extended studies course on water for San Diego State University.

Please contact Jerry to set up a presentation to your group.
